Every year on March 16, events are held in Riga and Lestene in memory of Latvian legionnaires who died in World War II.
Legionnaires' Memorial Day on March 16 is an unofficial day of remembrance. Some believe that the legionnaires hoped to fight for an independent Latvia, others that they were fascist collaborators, and others still that they were victims of war who found themselves on the front lines against their will.
