Remembrance
Croats and Serbs have opposing views of the operation. In Croatia, the date 5 August was chosen as the Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day and the Day of Croatian Defenders. In Serbia and Republika Srpska, the Anniversary Day is held for mourning the Serbs killed or exiled from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina during operation Storm.

Famous quotes containing the word remembrance:
“Thus I alone, where all my freedom grew,
In prison pine with bondage and restraint;
And with remembrance of the greater grief
To banish the less, I find my chief relief.”
—Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
“If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practise, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever- present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
