A day prior to the start of the Plast UMPZ a ceremony took place in Lviv's Lychakivskiy cemetery commemorating those Plast members who died for the cause of an independent Ukraine. A series of polished granite slabs carry the names of some 600 Plast members etched in gold. Most of them died in the service of various military formations including УСС, УГА, Дивізія Галичина and УПА, while others were civilians executed for their membership in ОУН. It was a solemn and dignified ceremony. Вічна їм память.
