Addressing the event, the Government leader expressed his deep gratitudetowards Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, wounded and sick soldiers, families ofmartyrs and revolutionary contributors.

Over the past 71 years, the Party, State and society have paid muchattention to caring for martyrs’ families, wounded soldiers and revolutionarycontributors. However, many martyrs have yet to be recognised, which remains a keytask of the Party and State.
