The Mokronoška detachment uncovered the monument and was awarded the municipal honor of Trebnje.

The ceremonial speaker was Franta Komelj, who, as a member of the detachment, outlined the significance and role of the Mokronoška detachment. He emphasized that in today's difficulties, we rely too little on the experiences from the National Liberation War. After that, he unveiled the monument, which was created by Bečir Beganovič from Ripač near Bihač, a participant in the Trebnje local art self-help camp; for this work, he received special recognition from the municipality of Trebnje.

In order to preserve and strengthen the heroic traditions of the national liberation struggle, the mayor of Trebnje, Tone Žibert, awarded the Mokronoška detachment with the municipal honor certificate, which was received by the commander of the Mokronoška detachment, Jože Nose-Špan.»
