V Gornji Radgoni se bo 28. junija 2026 obeležila 35. obletnica smrti Janeza Svetine, prve civilne žrtve osamosvojitvene vojne v Pomurju. V tem dnu je leta 1991 v Gornji Radgoni, Radencih in Hrastju-Moti, pod strelo iz oklepnika Jugoslovanske ljudske armade (JLA), umrl Janez Svetina. Njegov smrt, ki je bila posledica streljanja, je bila zelo simbolična, ker je pomenila zlorabo moči na civilne ljude. Svetina, pisatelj, prevajalec, svetovni popotnik, psiholog in poznavalec indijske duhovnosti, je bil rojen leta 1941 na Rečici pri Bledu. Njegovo življenje in delo so predstavili predstavniki Območnega združenja veteranov vojne za Slovenijo Gornja Radgona, OZ VVS Zgornja Gorenjska, Policijskega veteranskega društva Sever za Pomurje – Pododbor Gornja Radgona ter drugi udeleženci. Tudi predstavniki veteranskih organizacij iz Zgornje Gorenjske so se udeležili spominskega poklona.
V Gornji Radgoni se bo 3. julija 2026 zvrstilo še več slovesnosti v spomin na odhod JLA, med drugim 25. pohod ob reki Muri iz Radencev v Gornjo Radgono. Tudi v tem dnu so se udeležili predstavniki združenja veteranov Zgornje Gorenjske, kot so Janez Koselj, Rina Klinar in Slobodan Ilič. Vodil je žalno svečanost z naslovom "Naj ne bo nikoli pozabljeno" Dušan Zagorci, ki je takrat Janeza Svetine povabil na predavanje v Gornjo Radgono. Veterani vojne za Slovenijo in združenja Sever so položili venec in prižgali sveče. V Gornji Radgoni so tudi oblikovali spominski pohod, ki obeležuje umik enot JLA z območja Gornje Radgone leta 1991.
V Radencih bo pred začetkom krajša slovesnost z nagovori radenskega župana Romana Leljaka in predsednika Zveze veteranov vojne za Slovenijo Ladislava Lipiča. Osrednja slovesnost bo ob 19. uri pri spominskem obeležju "Nikoli več" pod cerkvijo sv. Petra v Gornji Radgoni, kjer bo slavnostni govornik načelnik Generalštaba Slovenske vojske generalmajor Boštjan Močnik. Program bodo spremljali pripadniki Gardne enote Slovenske vojske in trobilni kvintet Orkestra Slovenske vojske.
