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.
