I counted how many stars she's holding. You're welcome. On a serious note though, you should totally check it out - it's gorgeous, and we Latvians are proud of the monument itself and what it represents. If not for the memes, I'd give it all 5 stars.

This is one of the most amazing places in the centre of Riga city surrounded by Riga main town, parks, railway station and bus station etc. On 19th Nov which is the independence day of Latvia all the gatherings and events are happening around this monument. You can visit this place and grab a nice lunch/dinner/snacks in old Town nearby and relax later in the parks all are around and at a walking distance. I'm sure you'll like this place and do visit ?

The Freedom monument honoring soldiers killed during the Latvian War of Independence (1918–1920). It is considered an important symbol of the freedom, independence, and sovereignty of Latvia. Nice touristic site with the garden of latvia close by as well as old buildings from before the war. Two soldiers are always present at attention in front of the monument with a swap every 30 minutes depending on the weather, it is such a beautiful scenery to be at during change ?

What a magnificent monument to freedom! The people are proud of their heritage and proud of their freedom. It's gratifying and humbling to see such a public declaration of their commitment to freedom. Well done, Latvia. (Also the flowers in the gardens nearby have a heavenly scent when in bloom . . .)

I like the Latvian and Baltic states sense of personal identity and proud that they are NATO allies. This monument reflects Latvian pride and I sense it is part of the beating heart of this proud nation.
