The launch of a search and recovery operation for the remains of fallen soldiers on July 6 morning at Le Thi Rieng Cultural Park in Ho Chi Minh City is of special significance, demonstrating the Party and State's highest sense of responsibility and gratitude towards martyrs and their families.
The initiative is regarded as a significant political mission aimed at honouring those who sacrificed their lives for the nation while helping fulfil the long-standing wishes of their families across Vietnam.
The Ho Chi Minh City task force comprises six officers, 10 professional servicemen, and 21 soldiers from units under the municipal Military Command.
The recovered remains include 242 found in Vietnam, 173 in Laos and 694 in Cambodia, along with two collective graves discovered in the northern province of Tuyen Quang.
