There is a mistake in the date of death. It is obvious.

If its the same man, then the date is not even close. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_K%C3%A4%C3%A4rmann

Apparently companions just held him to death when he went missing (was arrested) ...

Zalktis!

Who is this person (I saw this man in TV-news as well)?

Clear!

Latvian National Soldiers chorus ''Tēvija" manager Jānis Sējāns.

[Kriuks]

Thanks!

[ZalktisLV]

Jānis Sējāns has also 3 brothers - Andris, Juris and Leons. I think that in TV you might have seen Jānis Sējāns's brother - Juris Sējāns, the bass guitarist of rock group Pērkons of dissidents in the 80s. He resembles his brother very much and has very musical family.

11:00 - A procession from Riga Saint John's Church to The Monument of Freedom, an act of honor with flowers

I've started a discussion in order to correct the mistake on the memorial plaque in Lestene. The people responsible for that promised to correct it in April.

Thanks Estonians for support. I know that at the X-hour we will fight at the same front together.

It’s worth mentioning these Latvian officers who received the award „Das Deutsches Kreuze in Gold” (The German Cross in Gold) for outstanding merit.

Somehow I wasn't able to make the post so that you can see a photo after every man's description (if somebody knows where I've mistaken, please, tell me or maybe the moderator can edit it) so you can see the photos after all the descriptions and there's a name of every man in comment section above each photo.
