The Czech Military Marche commemorates the end of World War II in Europe and the liberation of Czechoslovakia from Nazi occupation. Victory in Europe came at an extraordinary cost, with millions sacrificing their lives so future generations could live in freedom. The march serves as a reminder that peace was not simply given—it was earned through courage, sacrifice, and the determination of those who refused to surrender to tyranny.

The ruck medal awarded to participants reflects that history. Its design honors the Allied effort that brought an end to the war in Europe while recognizing the resilience of the Czech and Slovak people throughout years of occupation. It also remembers the soldiers who fought alongside the Allied nations to reclaim their homeland and restore liberty.

For ruckers, this march is about far more than earning a medal. It is an opportunity to remember one of history's greatest struggles, honor those who secured freedom at an unimaginable cost, and reflect on our responsibility to preserve the peace they fought so hard to achieve.

The Medal

Obverse (front):
The central motif is a five-pointed star, recalling the white and red insignia used on U.S. and Soviet military equipment during the liberation. At the center sits a two-tailed lion on a shield, crossed by a downward-pointing sword—symbolizing Czechoslovakia’s prepared but unrealized defense during the Munich betrayal. The shield is surrounded by rising linden leaves, representing the strength and unity of the nation in its darkest days.

Reverse (back):
The design shows two concentric circles divided into four quadrants, symbolizing the post-war division of enemy territory among the four Allied powers. Within each section, linden leaves represent Czechoslovak soldiers who served in those armies. At the center is the victorious year, “1945.”

Ribbon:
The ribbon is 38 mm wide and carries three colors:
