Vietnam’s leadership paid homage to the nation’s fallen heroes and President Hồ Chí Minh in a solemn ceremony held in Hanoi, commemorating the 79th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day. The delegation, led by Party General Secretary and State President Tô Lâm, Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng, and National Assembly Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn, honored the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence.
The ceremony began with the laying of wreaths at the Monument to Heroic Martyrs, followed by a tribute at President Hồ Chí Minh’s mausoleum. During the event, leaders observed a moment of silence, reflecting on the contributions of war veterans and the families of martyrs to Vietnam’s revolutionary cause.
The officials underscored the nation’s unwavering commitment to supporting these groups, reaffirming their dedication to the individuals who played pivotal roles in securing Vietnam’s freedom. This commitment is exemplified by the ongoing “500-day campaign” aimed at searching for, recovering, and identifying the remains of soldiers still missing from past conflicts.
Described as a testament to Vietnam’s enduring gratitude, the campaign symbolizes the nation’s responsibility towards honoring those who gave their lives in service. The initiative not only seeks to bring closure to the families of the fallen but also serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made for Vietnam’s sovereignty.
