At a ceremony on Monday to launch a search and recovery operation for martyrs’ remains at Le Thi Rieng Park in Ho Chi Minh City, PM Hung called the event a sacred occasion and a meaningful expression of the nation’s gratitude to those who sacrificed their lives for national independence and freedom.
“We won’t stop until the remains of our fallen heroes have been recovered. For many martyrs’ families, the war has never truly ended. The pain of loss continues as they wait for news of their loved ones. We must do everything possible to find and bring those fallen heroes to their families,” said PM Hung.
The PM called on Ho Chi Minh City to work closely with the Ministry of National Defence and the Ministry of Public Security to mobilize resources and expand the use of advanced technologies, particularly DNA analysis, to accelerate the identification process.
Monday’s event is part of a nationwide 500-day campaign launched in April in Quang Tri province ahead of the 80th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day on July 27 next year. The campaign expresses Vietnam’s determination to care for people with meritorious service and answer the hopes of martyrs’ families.
