# MFN575 - 2023 Eternal Memory: Day of Rememberance of the Fallen Soldiers, Ukraine
Mint Ukraine War Stamp Honors Fallen Defenders
This stamp was issued on August 29, 2023, Ukraine's official Day of Remembrance of the Fallen Defenders of Ukraine. According to Ukraine's National Post, "This date was established to honor the memory of military personnel and members of volunteer formations who laid down their lives for their country, as a reminder of one of the bloodiest events of the Russian-Ukrainian war in the east of the country – the Ilovaisk tragedy." The stamp pictures the painting "Sorrow" (2016) by Ukrainian artist Oleh Shupliak. It pictures a young musician grieving at the grave of a lost friend or loved one with white storks (the national bird of Ukraine) taking flight in the background. It's a fitting tribute to the brave soldiers who have lost their lives fighting to maintain the independence of their country. Get this stamp in your collection today.
