To mark the upcoming 76th anniversary of the 1944 Slovak National Uprising (SNP), Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď and Chief of Defence Gen Daniel Zmeko attended an unveiling ceremony for the Army Engineers Memorial – a PTS-10 Tracked Amphibious Carrier, which is dedicated to the memory of all servicemen and women of the Engineer Battalion Sereď who have served or are serving on domestic or international crisis management missions and operations.
Speaking at the ceremony, Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď said: “I am immensely grateful to all those who have been involved in preparing this memorial. It is a huge thank you to all servicemen and women of the Engineer Battalion Sereď who have played a role in building security at home and abroad to the benefit of us all.” The Minister said the carrier is on loan from the Institute of Military History.
At the ceremony, 13 veterans were presented the 75th SNP Anniversary and End of WWII Commemorative Medal and the SVK Minister of Defence Commemorative Medal (3rd Grade) by the head of the MOD.
The legacy of the WWII national liberation struggle was recently commemorated at the Liberators Memorial by local residents in Pezinok, with the MOD being represented by Director General of the Human Resources Department Martin Jakál.
Later today, Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď is also expected to pay homage to the Slovak National Uprising heroes in SNP Square, Bratislava.
