A colorful nod to Lithuania’s Independence Day in today’s Wall Street Journal.

The paper ran a striking photo from Vilnius showing crowds carrying a giant Lithuanian tricolor during the celebration of the 36th anniversary of independence from the Soviet Union.

Nice to see Lithuania and March 11 recognized on the pages of one of America’s major newspapers.
