On Monday, US Ambassador Anne E. Derse presented the two cadets with the scholarship certificates, which provide them with an opportunity to study in the US until 2016.
According to the press release, Derse told the cadets that she sees them "as part of the framework on which Lithuania's future peace and success is being built."
"The US government and the American people are deeply grateful for the great cooperation of the Lithuanian Military in operations in Afghanistan and in general, and we are delighted to continue strengthening this excellent relationship by providing annual scholarships to deserving Lithuanian cadets to attend our service academies," said Ambassador Derse.
