A monument dedicated to the memory of Bronislovas Liesis – Nakčia, a signatory of the Declaration of the Council of the Lithuanian Freedom Struggle Movement of February 16, 1949.

B. Liesis and his twin brother Antanas were born in 1922 to the family of the director of the Ramygala Junior High School in Panevėžys County. Their parents were deported to Siberia in 1941, where they died.

During the Nazi occupation, B. Liesis belonged to the Lithuanian Freedom Defenders Union. In 1944, together with his brother, he went to a German military intelligence school on the orders of the Lithuanian Freedom Army, where he studied partisan warfare tactics. On December 21, 1944, he was landed in the forests of Kėdainiai County. Both Liesis reached the Jurbarkas area, and from the beginning of 1945 they fought in the Lydis partisan detachment. From 1948, B. Liesis headed the Prisikėlimos district, edited the newspaper "Prisikėlimos ugnis", and wrote poems under the pseudonym Ēglis. His work was published in the collection "Kovos keliu žengiant" (Walking the Path of Struggle), as well as in the partisan press.

In February 1949, in a bunker set up in the Minaičiai farmstead in Radviliškis district, B. Liesis, together with other representatives of Lithuanian partisan districts, participated in the Congress of Lithuanian partisan commanders, which announced the establishment of a unified resistance organization - the Lithuanian Freedom Struggle Movement. On February 16, the Declaration of the Council of the Lithuanian Freedom Struggle Movement was adopted. At the congress, B. Liesis was appointed a member of the Presidium of the Council of the Lithuanian Freedom Struggle Movement, and he was awarded the rank of freedom fighter partisan captain.

Bronislovas died on August 13, 1949, in a partisan camp set up in the Užpelkiai forest of Grinkiškis parish, Radviliškis county, during battles with MGB soldiers.
