Events marking Vukovar 1991 Remembrance Day and the 24th anniversary of the destruction of that eastern Croatian city in the country's 1991-95 war of independence started on Wednesday morning with a commemoration outside the city hospital where 3,500 wounded people had been treated during the siege by the JNA and Serb paramilitary troops in 1991. Attending the commemoration, held under the slogan "Vukovar, a place of special reverence", were numerous people who arrived from all over the country, top state officials, including President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, Parliament Speaker Josip Leko, Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic and other government officials, members of Parliament, and representatives of the diplomatic corps, the Catholic Church and other religious communities, numerous war veterans' and victims' associations and political parties. After the commemoration outside the city hospital, its participants embarked on a 5.5 km walk to the Homeland War Memorial Cemetery where state and other delegations will lay wreaths and light candles and a religious service will be held. Vukovar Remembrance Day is observed in memory of 18 November 1991 when the city's defence lines were broken after a three-month siege by the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) and Serb paramilitaries. The besieged city was defended by around 1,800 members of the National Guard Corps, police and volunteers of the self-organised Croatian Defence Force (HOS), organised into the 204th Croatian Army Brigade. After the ravaged city fell into the hands of the JNA and Serb paramilitaries, around 22,000 local Croats and members of other ethnic groups were expelled and several thousand Croatian soldiers and civilians were taken to Serb-run prison camps. Numerous crimes were committed against the defence forces and civilians, including a massacre of 200 soldiers and civilians from the Vukovar Hospital who were taken from the hospital on November 19 and killed at a former farm at Ovcara, outside the city, and buried in a mass grave. According to data from the Vukovar Hospital, 1,624 Croatian soldiers and civilians were killed and 1,219 were wounded during the siege of the city. Around 3,600 Croatian soldiers and civilians were killed in the aggression on and subsequent occupation of the city.

Paljenjem svijeća kod Spomen obilježja žrtvama Vukovara i vukovarske bolnice u dvorištu Opće bolnice Vukovar, brojni Vukovarci i djelatnici Opće bolnice odali su u utorak navečer počast žrtvama agresije bivše JNA i srpskih paravojnih postrojbi na Vukovar 1991. Prema podacima vukovarske Opće bolnice, u agresiji na Vukovar, koja je započela 25. kolovoza a završila 18. studenog 1991. slomom obrane grada, poginule su 1624 osobe , od kojih je do sloma obrane poginulo 905, a među njima i 12 djece. Bolnica ima podatke o ranjavanju 1219 osoba među kojima i 30 djece. Kroz vukovarsku bolnicu tijekom agresije na Vukovar prošlo je 3.470 ranjenika, a obavljeno je oko 2.500 operacija. Dva dana nakon sloma obrane grada, 20. studenog 1991., iz bolnice je odvedena najmanje 261 osoba od kojih je 200 ubijeno na Ovčari dok se za ostalima još uvijek traga. Počast poginulim hrvatskim braniteljima i civilima u obrani Vukovara, paljenjem svijeća te molitvom koju su molili velečasni Mato Martinković, župnik župe Kraljice mučenika, i fra Ivica Jagodić, župnik župe svetih Filipa i Jakova, odana je i kod Zavjetne kapelice na početku tzv. kukuruznog puta. Kukuruzni put bio je jedini prolaz između Vukovara i Bogdanovaca kojim su tijekom tri mjeseca, od rujna do studenoga, branitelji mogli dolazili braniti Vukovar i kojim su, nakon sloma obrane, branitelji i civili izlazili iz Vukovara. Tijekom prijepodneva, porukama mira ispisanim na ogradi još uvijek neobnovljenog Radničkog doma u središtu Vukovara, učenici vukovarskih osnovnih škola priključili su se programu obilježavanju Dana sjećanja na žrtvu Vukovara. Program pod nazivom "Vukovarska golubica mira" organizirali su osnovna škola Antuna Bauera i Hrvatski dom Vukovar. U spomen na 18. studenoga 1991. godine, kad je nakon tromjesečne opsade slomljena obrana Vukovara, Hrvatski sabor proglasio je 18. studenoga Danom sjećanja na žrtvu Vukovara 1991. godine Program obilježavanja Dana sjećanja na žrtvu Vukovara, koji se ove godine održava pod geslom "Vukovar je jučer, danas i sutra", započet će sutra u 10 sati u dvorištu vukovarske Opće bolnice odakle će sudionici obilježavanja u koloni sjećanja proći gradskim ulicama do Memorijalnog groblja žrtava iz Domovinskog rata, gdje će državna i druga izaslanstva položiti vijence i zapaliti svijeće. - Sviđa vam se članak?
