    In 1991, civillians stopped the invaders by blocking the streets with tractors, scrap metal and trucks and sat by them with weapons. In lithuania they tried the same, but resorted to blocking the streets with people. Far too many were killed. In latvia many were shot as well, including children going home from school. Today we stand as proud baltic brothers.
