The collection was gifted to the museum by the “Soldier’s Hear Organization,” the “Forever Twenty Club,” and the “Dang Family’s Daughters and Daughters-in-law Club.”
The collection features 30 portraits of renowned figures in Vietnam’s history, whose names have been given to streets and public institutions, such as Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Vo Thi Sau, Mac Thi Buoi, and Dang Thuy Tram.
Nguyen Thi Tuyet, Director of the Vietnam Women’s Museum, said: “We received the photos and are displaying them at the Vietnam Women’s Museum and later on, at the Vietnam Fatherland Front Museum until the end of October. We are grateful to the organizations, individuals, and relatives of the martyrs for donating the photos.”

On this occasion, the Museum introduced the book “Wherever There Are Invaders, We Go” by Heroic Martyr Le Van Dy, a native of Me Linh commune, Hanoi.
Born in 1926, he was one of 33 officers and soldiers who made outstanding accomplishments at the Dien Bien Phu battlefield in 1954. He died in 1970.
His immortal saying “Wherever there are invaders, we go” inspired composer Do Nhuan to write the song “The Long March” in 1953, which became an anthem encouraging Vietnamese soldiers to brave hardship toward the goal of national independence and freedom.
