Hoa Binh is home to more than 30,000 people who
rendered services to the nation, including 245 Heroic Vietnamese Mothers, and
more than 3,000 war invalids.
At the cemetery, where 306 martyrs were resting,
the delegates offered flowers and incense in tribute to the martyrs and
expressed gratitude to the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the national
liberation and protection.
On the occasion, with the motto of "when you
drink water, think of the source,” local young people and organisations,
departments, sectors and businesses have held a number of activities to care
for policy beneficiaries, including the building and upgrade of 120 houses for
national contributors, presenting gifts to families of war invalids, martyrs,
and Heroic Vietnamese Mothers. Local youngsters also donated hundreds of
working days to smarten up local war martyr cemeteries and tend martyrs’
graves.
After the ceremony, delegates lit candles and
offered flowers to each martyr's grave./.
