 We came together to honor those who laid the
foundations of Lithuania's Independence. By coming together to think about the main tenets of our heritage we add to the content to our Lithuanian identity. Let us
assist the work of the Lithuanian American Community with a donation. And let us be a witness for one
another that Lithuanians cherish our heritage.
