(HBO) – Every year as July comes, people remember the martyrs with profound emotions. July, with the Martyrs and Invalids’ Day (July 27), is a time to express gratitude and pay tribute to those who contributed to the revolution and the country, particularly wounded soldiers, war martyrs and their families. This is also the peak month for many activities nationwide tin response to the "Paying the Debt of Gratitude" movement organised by the Party, the army and people.



Young people in Hoa Binh city join the "Green Sunday" campaign and take on the task of caring for graves in the martyrs' cemeteries.

Every year, during this time, key leaders of Hoa Binh make visits to the Truong Son National Martyrs’ Cemetery and the Road 9 National Martyrs’ Cemetery in Quang Tri province to pay respect to fallen heroes buried there. Hundreds of war martyrs from Hoa Binh province, together with many from across the nation, rest in eternal peace at these cemeteries.

During this month, officials and localities also take time to visit and present gifts to heroic Vietnamese mothers, wounded soldiers, veterans, and families of fallen heroes and those who were victims of toxic chemicals during the war. Departments, agencies, mass organisations and individuals frequently visit and encourage them, thus upholding the revolutionary tradition, setting a shining example for the younger generations, contributing to building a prosperous homeland.

Over the past years, under the leadership of the provincial Party Committee, the People's Council and People's Committee, the State policies towards those who have rendered meritorious services have been implemented in a timely and synchronous manner.

Various movements of gratitude have spread widely. Apart from ensuring monthly allowances for over 8,000 people with meritorious services, other supportive policies have also been carried out. All communes, wards and towns in Hoa Binh have been recognised for performing well in the care for wounded soldiers, martyrs and those with meritorious services. Up to 99.6% of policy beneficiary households and those with meritorious service have a standard of living equal to or higher than the average living standards of residents in the same locality.

The 76th anniversary of Martyrs and Invalids’ Day (July 27) is an opportunity to raise public awareness of and promote the full implementation of the Party's guidelines, policies, and State laws regarding the preferential treatment for those with meritorious service. Through this, the patriotic tradition is passed down through generations and the movement of "gratitude and repayment" is spread out.
