00:00The 30th anniversary of the foundation of the 1st Guards Brigade of the HWA Ante Bruno Bušić was celebrated with a ceremonial academy in the Vojvodina district.
00:09The history of this brigade began long before the foundation of the 1st Guards Brigade, at the beginning of 1992,
00:16with the foundation of the first professional Croatian formation in the Croatian community of Herceg Bosnia.
00:21Their war path has always been in the service of the Croatian people.
00:24War is the path that every Bušić proudly remembers.
00:28Honorable and honest, in truth.
00:30We went without a fig in our pockets and contributed to the civil war,
00:35only by the sacrifice of 106 killed and only by the sacrifice of 500 wounded,
00:39and over 5,000 members went to the rescue.
00:42We can say with pride what we were.
00:45Our war commanders, General Rosso, the first war commander,
00:49Slavko Grubišić, the second war commander,
00:52the third war commander, Anton Luborić, the late Slavko Grubišić,
00:56and then comes General Željko Glasnović.
00:58These are our war commanders, who we must not forget.
01:02They were with us, we were with them.
01:04As I said, there are no generals from the military,
01:09from the military unit, the unit of destiny, the unit of water, the unit of satiny, the unit of battle.
01:12And that's how we got along, but in truth we were honorable and honest,
01:16and we are not ashamed of that.
01:18We are not ashamed to say that we were proud in the war and peace.
01:22In the war, Bušić left a great mark on all the battlefields
01:26where the boots of Bušić's members were stained.
01:29Support to the Mostar battlefield, support to the Uskopaj battlefield,
01:33Žepačko battlefield, where we did not have a Žepačko battlefield.
01:36We founded a unit in 1992.
01:38I participated as an instructor up there in 1992.
01:41We founded a unit that defended Žepče, the battle of Andrija Tadić.
01:44Today, that battle of Andrija Tadić is rarely mentioned,
01:47but it was one of the main ones in the defense of Žepče.
01:50And we must not forget that.
01:52Komušan battlefield, Maglaj battlefield, Žepačko battlefield,
01:55Uskopaj battlefield, Mostar battlefield, Livan battlefield, Kupreško,
01:59and all other battlefields that took part in the civil war,
02:03were in Bušić's hands.
02:06And such a great sacrifice on all the battlefields
02:09was paid with 106 lives of Croatian war heroes.
02:12Today is an opportunity to first remember the dead of my comrades.
02:18I was a member of the 3rd Guards Brigade.
02:21We were together on these fields.
02:23We pay tribute to them, we remember them,
02:26and we refuse to forget their names.
02:29So, from year to year, we remember them,
02:32only to this day.
02:34So, it is our duty, their comrades, their friends,
02:38to remember the dead, not only today,
02:41but throughout the year.
02:44If it were not for them,
02:47today we would not be standing here,
02:50in the area of Livan.
02:53And in Livan, in addition to the Holy Academy,
02:56the remains of the foundation of the 1st Guards Brigade,
02:59HBA Ante Bruno Bušić,
03:01former and current Bušić,
03:03were marked by the laying of wreaths and the burning of candles
03:06and the Holy Mass was held in the district of Vojvodina.
