November 18th is the 91 st Anniversary of the proclamation of the independent Republic of Latvia
This is very special day for everybody. The morning begins with public worship. After it people go to put flowers at the Freedom Monument and create a flower way and watch parade of Latvian armed forces. This day ends with impressive fireworks. I try to put all this in the video.
One of main symbols of Latvia is the Freedom Monument. There is written TĒVZEMEI un BRĪVĪBAI (for Fatherland and Freedom). In my video you can see the hands of the Freedom Monument, holding aloft three stars representing the three historic regions of the country, and essentially the symbol of Latvia.
