🇱🇻 Pirms 35 gadiem Latvijā ieradās ASV valsts sekretārs Džeimss Beikers, kurš līdzi atveda simbolisku dāvanu – Latvijas karogu. 1991. gada 14. septembrī viņš apmeklēja visas trīs Baltijas valstis, kas tikko bija atbrīvojušās no PSRS skavām.

🎁 Katrā galvaspilsētā Dž. Beikers ieradās ar īpašu dāvanu, konkrētās valsts karogu. Rīgā, tiekoties ar Augstākās Padomes priekšsēdētāju Anatoliju Gorbunovu, ASV valsts sekretārs uzdāvināja sarkanbaltsarkano karogu, kas visus garos okupācijas gadus līdz ar citu nāciju karogiem atradās ASV Valsts departamentā. Tas bija skaidrs un simbolisks signāls: ASV neatzīst Baltijas valstu iekļaušanu Padomju Savienībā.

🤝 Pēc dāvanu apmaiņas ceremonijas Gorbunova un Beikera tikšanās ilga 50 minūtes, kurās pārrunāja ASV praktisko atbalstu mūsu valstij, gan plānoto Krievijas armijas izvešanu. Šodien vēsturiskais karogs ir vērtīgs papildinājums Saeimas dāvanu kolekcijā. Tas parlamenta apmeklējuma laikā ir aplūkojams Saeimas bibliotēkas telpās.

🇺🇸 Pateicamies Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm, mūsu stratēģiskajam partnerim un sabiedrotajam, par draudzību un atbalstu toreiz un tagad!
