Memorial to the FallenPrint Page 
The monument commemorates the 50-year anniversary of Lithuania regaining its independence in 1918, and those who have died in the various conflicts for Lithuania.
The monument shows a woman, holding a dying or dead man in her arms. The woman wears a wimple favoured by married women.
A small brass Vytis (knight) is placed at the top of the monument as well as a a metal cross in Lithuanian style. The pillars of Gediminas (Gediminio stulpai) are one of the earliest symbols of Lithuania and one of its historical coats of arms. During the period between World War One and World War Two they were used by the Lithuanian Republic as a minor state symbol on coins and military equipment. On the other sign is another Lithuanian symbol the roundel.
A wooden Lithuanian style cross has been erected near the monument, and two flag poles stand behind where on commemorative occasions flags are raised and wreaths are laid at the monument base.
