President Triet said the footprints of heroes can be recognised across the country as each citizen could become a soldier and a hero and that martyrs are the symbols of the revolutionary heroism.

He called on the entire Party and people of Vietnam to continue their efforts further develop the country along the socialist orientation, following the late President Ho Chi Minh’s recommendation on determination to protect the Communist Party of Vietnam, the socialism and national sovereignty, deserving the sacrifices of martyrs.

The awardees of the title are units and individuals who had attained remarkable achievements during the war against the French colonialists, the American imperialists as well as the process of national construction and defence./.
