Šodien atceramies Latviešu strēlniekus un citus kritušos karavīrus, kuri ir atdevuši savas dzīvības kaujās par Latvijas brīvību. Sveiciens Lāčplēša dienā! 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻 For our foreign friends. As every year, this evening Latvia lights up numerous candles to honour Latvian Freedom Fighters. On 11 November of 1919 Latvian army and Riga residents much less in numbers defeated the 50,000-strong West Russian volunteer army led by Russian colonel Pavel Bermont and German general Rudiger von der Goltz. Later this day was named 'Lāčplēsis Day' after the Latvian epic hero Lāčplēsis who had bear ears and strength, and he has become our symbol of heroism. #lāčplēšadiena #skyforger #latviešustrēlnieki #11novembris #11november #latvija
