Today, Lithuania honoured and bid farewell to the four US soldiers who tragically lost their lives in Pabradė. We will never forget them.
The people of Lithuania prayed relentlessly for their fate, as we feel profound solidarity and regard American soldiers as our own.

Battle of the Bulge

In the freezing early hours of December 16, 1944, German forces launched the last major offensive of #WWII against the Allied forces in the Ardennes region of Belgium. Know as the #BattleOfTheBulge, the surprise attack aimed to split Allied lines and shift momentum of the war.


The offensive created a "bulge" in the Allied front lines, giving the battle its name. Over the next six weeks, American forces, often outgunned and enduring brutal winter conditions, mounted a heroic defense.


Units like the 101st Airborne famously held their ground at #Bastogne despite being surrounded and low on supplies. The battle ended on January 25, 1945, with heavy losses for both sides: over 75,000 American casualties, and 100,000 German casualties.
The German army's failure to break through sealed its fate, hastening the end of the war in Europe.

In Memoriam
A small tribute for my special pup.
2013 to July 31, 2024
I lost my best friend after what was supposed to be very minor surgical procedure.
