Due to economic difficulties, my family had to live in a temporary house, unable to afford to build or repair. In 2024, the family received 80 million VND from the Provincial Military Command to build a new house. My family is very grateful for the attention of the Provincial Military Command.
As the standing agency of the Provincial Steering Committee 515 on searching, collecting and identifying martyrs' remains, the Provincial Military Command has done a good job of advising and coordinating with departments, branches and organizations in reviewing and verifying information on martyrs' graves, organizing the search and excavation of martyrs' remains. As a result, from 2021 to present, 31 grave information has been verified; 30 martyrs' remains (including 9 martyrs' remains with information, 21 martyrs' remains with unknown information) have been exhumed and handed over for burial in martyrs' cemeteries, ensuring proper procedures.
Colonel Nguyen Cong Khue, Political Commissar of the Provincial Military Command, said: For the Provincial Military Command, the work of gratitude is not only a responsibility but also an order from the heart of every officer and soldier. We always try to ensure that all policies for people with meritorious services are fully and promptly implemented, without any cases being overlooked or disadvantaged. We pay special attention to supporting the construction of gratitude houses and improving living conditions for disadvantaged families, because that is the foundation for them to stabilize their lives and rise up. At the same time, the work of searching for, collecting and identifying the remains of martyrs is always a top priority, expressing the deepest gratitude of today's generation to those who heroically sacrificed. We understand that each remains found, each information verified is a part of history completed, a pain soothed, bringing peace to the families and relatives of martyrs. The "Gratitude" fund voluntarily contributed by officers and soldiers is the clearest proof of our sense of responsibility and gratitude.
