To commemorate the 28th anniversary of the establishment of the 101st Bosnian HVO Brigade, the first unit in BiH to provide active resistance to the enemy, surviving veterans and other believers of Bosanska Posavina, remembered 426 killed and missing veterans of that brigade, in their prayers on March 3rd.
In the parish church of St. Elijah the Prophet in Bosanski Brod Holy Mass for the dead was led by the parish priest rev. Antonio Čutura with concelebration of OFM Anto Tomas who is the guardian in Plehan monastery, rev. Juro Babić - parish priest in Brusnica, and venerable Ivan Marić who animated the Holy Mass by singing.
In the commemorative homily, rev. Čutura explained that “prayer and Holy Mass are the best we can give to our dead”, and stated that “we, as believers, are strongly attracted to faith in the resurrection of Christ.”
Organized by the Association of Volunteers and Veterans of the 101st Bosanski brod Brigade, the program began by lighting lanterns and laying wreaths in local cemeteries, and Al-Fatihah for veterans of the Muslim religion was prayed at the cemetery in Kolibe Gornje.
Then in the City Library in Slavonski brod, a book by general Krešimir Kašpar and Marinko Krešić: Hrvatski generali i admirali 1991-1999 (Generals and Admirals 1991-1999) was presented.
