Three more martyrs' remains found at Ho Chi Minh City park

Authorities in Ho Chi Minh City have located three additional sets of martyrs' remains at Le Thi Rieng Park, continuing a significant effort to recover fallen soldiers.

The recovery on July 17 brings the total number of individual sets of remains found to 96, in addition to two collective burials. The operation, led by the Martyrs' Remains Collection Team of the Ho Chi Minh City Military Command, has been meticulously searching the park.

On the same day, General Secretary and President To Lam visited the site. He paid tribute to the martyrs and inspected the search area, emphasizing the profound significance of each discovery. "Each set of martyrs' remains found is not only the result of professional work but also the return of a child to the Fatherland, to the family, and a part of history," he stated.

President Lam urged Ho Chi Minh City to prioritize the search and identification of martyrs' remains as a critical political task. He called for the mobilization of the entire political system, scientists, historical witnesses, and the public. The President also endorsed the continuation of the "500 Days and Nights" campaign to find, collect, and identify martyrs' remains, aiming to bring them back to their homeland and families. The initiative will leverage digital transformation, AI, DNA technology, geophysical surveys, and archival research.
