The Homeland War Memorial (Croatian: Spomenica Domovinskog rata) is a Croatian state medal awarded to both Croatian and foreign citizens who participated in the nation's Croatian War of Independence as a volunteer, part of the Croatian Army and Croatian Council of Defence or in some other role.[2]
The medal was widely granted, given to over 430,000 people who participated in the war in some form.[3] Much less number has been given in its first and original form Spomenica Domovinskog rata 1990.-1992. to those who participated in the resistance and early days of the formation of the Croatian state and army in the period 1990-1992, and as such was established on the 9th of June 1992.[4][5]
