Anne’s presentation consisted of historical highlights, geographical maps and several photographs taken by her while living in Lithuania. Also included were contributions made by Lithuanians who migrated to the United States. As a NATO nation, Lithuanian is strategically important due to its location as the geographic center of Europe, and the first line of defense against Russian aggression.
