For members of the 2-8 CAV 1BCT 1CD as well as members of the 362nd MPAD this trip has been as much of a cultural experience as it has been a developmental experience. Members of the the 2-8 Cav. were able to experience the Latvian equivalent of Americas Memorial Day, Lāčplēsis Day where they honor those that have fallen in the service of their nation. Remarkably this takes place every year on the same day the we in America celebrate Veterans Day, November 11th. Check out this great multimedia piece that Sgt. David I. Marquis produced on his trip with the U.S. soldiers to historic town of Cêsis where one of the greatest battles of the Latvian War of Independence took place in 1919.
