2012-02-16 Address by H.E. Dalia Grybauskaitė, President of the Republic of Lithuania, at the Flag Raising Ceremony in Daukanto Square

Dear Fellow People of Lithuania, Today as we stand and watch our national tricolor going up, we feel deeply grateful to those who turned the twilight of February 16th into the dawn of hope. Twenty signatories – and the many brave patriots behind them – proclaimed the restoration of Lithuanian independence. They inspired future generations to cherish freedom and to fight for it. We have the Declaration of Independence as a testimony of those days and a commitment to great accomplishments by a small nation. But we have much more than that.
