Martyr Remains Search Campaign Deeply Moves Vietnamese People

A nationwide campaign to locate and repatriate the remains of martyrs has profoundly moved the Vietnamese populace, according to Hà Thị Nga, Vice Chairwoman and Secretary-General of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (MTTQ). The "500 Days and Nights" initiative has seen significant public engagement, fostering a sense of national unity and remembrance.

During a National Assembly Standing Committee meeting, Nga highlighted the campaign's success in eliciting emotional responses across the country. The effort involved citizens actively providing information about fallen soldiers and participating in commemorative ceremonies. Notable events, including those held at Lê Thị Riêng Park and other locations nationwide, were attended by high-ranking Party and State leaders, underscoring the campaign's importance.

The 500 days and nights campaign to search for and collect the remains of martyrs has truly touched the emotions of the people across the country.

The MTTQ has also received feedback from Vietnamese communities abroad, who expressed their deep emotion and commitment to upholding the national tradition of "drinking water, remembering its source." This sentiment is particularly relevant as Vietnam approaches the Day of Martyrs and Invalids on July 27 and the 80th anniversary of the tradition in 2027.

Nga also noted other developments, including the opening of the Bạch Mai Hospital's Ninh Bình campus on June 26, which was met with enthusiasm by local residents. Furthermore, the MTTQ is collaborating with the Vietnam Writers' Association on the publication of a book titled "Chuyện với Thanh" and is actively collecting and reporting public opinions on various issues, including the Red River landscape avenue project in Hanoi.

We have received information and feedback from the Vietnamese community in countries around the world expressing their emotion and continuing to spread the values and profound meaning of our nation's 'drinking water, remembering its source' moral principle.
