It is with pride and emotion that we share a photo report from this year's commemoration of the Battle of Dytiatyn. This unique event, full of patriotism, community, and remembrance of the heroes of 1920, once again brought together the Polish community, guests, and the younger generation, who proudly cherish the traditions and values passed down by their ancestors.

This year's Dytiatyn commemorations, held on September 17, 2022, were exceptional. In the shadow of the war that began in Ukraine on February 24, the ceremonies took place without the participation of Polish guests and began with a Mass at the Dytiatyn War Cemetery.

We present a brochure dedicated to the annual volunteer trips to Bołszowce, where they care for the Polish gravestones at the local cemetery. Several days of maintenance work—mowing the grass, cleaning the gravestones, removing weeds, painting the fences—keeps the memory of the Poles buried there alive.

Dytiatyn – memory that unites. The Brother Sun Foundation invites you to a ceremony on September 18th in Dytiatyn, commemorating important events in Poland. At the same time, the National Bank of Poland is introducing a commemorative coin: "Polish Thermopylae – Dytiatyn."

The last defender of the Dytiatyn cemetery honored with the Virtus et Fraternitas medal. Petro Hrudzewycz, a Ukrainian from Dytiatyn, personally received the Virtus et Fraternitas medal from President Andrzej Duda. He was awarded this distinction for his exceptional contribution to preserving the memory of the Battle of September 16, 1920.
