On September 18 in Domaradz, Sejm Speaker Marek Kuchcinski unveiled an obelisk commemorating Polish President Lech Kaczynski, First Lady Maria and the 94 people who died in the Smolensk crash.

The 96 candles at the obelisk recalled the 96 victims of the great national tragedy, whose mission was to honor the victims of Katyn. Recalling April 10, 2010, Marshal Kuchcinski said that they were all united by their concern for the Fatherland and fidelity to patriotic values, he said that for Poles this tragedy has not only a huge political and social dimension, but above all a very personal one.

- Six years ago, many of our friends died, people we admired and were close to our hearts," he said. - At Smolensk, on that April day, a part of our nation also died, a part of each of us died. And despite the passage of time, it is difficult to speak about the victims of this disaster without emotion, without a trembling voice. We try to assuage our grief by surrounding those who passed away that day with due respect," said Marshal Kuchcinski.

He also argued how important it is that we honor their memory and promote the values that were close to both the Presidential Couple Lech and Maria Kaczynski and other participants in the tragic flight. - It is our duty, he asserted, to cherish the memory of them and to pass on the truth to future generations.

In a letter sent to the ceremony, the president's brother, Law and Justice Chairman Jaroslaw Kaczynski, wrote that we have inherited from them their dreams of the best possible Poland....

The place where the obelisk stood is not accidental. It was chosen because of the seven victims of the disaster who were associated with the region: Grazyna Gęsicka, Leszek Deptuła, Kazimierz Gilarski Janina Fetlinska, Ryszard Kaczorowski, Bronislaw Kwiatkowski and Stanislaw Zając.

- Let this obelisk be a lasting trace of your memory and an expression of devotion to the values close to the Poles. Bowing my head, I honor those who perished," concluded the ceremony by Marshal Kuchcinski.
