The heroic sacrifice of martyrs has prepared for our country to blossom with independence and freedom. Our people will forever remember the merits of martyrs to overcome all difficulties and hardships, to complete the revolutionary cause that martyrs have left for us" and promote the tradition of "When drinking water, remember its source", "Repaying gratitude" of the nation, in recent years, the Party Committee, government and people of Ho Chi Minh City have always determined that taking care of policy families and people with meritorious services is an important political task, a responsibility and also an honor.
The city ensures that 100% of surviving Vietnamese Heroic Mothers are cared for by units; 100% of communes and wards do a good job in caring for war invalids and martyrs. From 2021 to present, the city has actively searched for and collected martyrs' remains, received and organized burial ceremonies for 48 martyrs' remains.
In recent times, the work of building, upgrading, and renovating martyrs' graves, martyrs' cemeteries, works honoring martyrs, and renovating martyrs' cemeteries and memorials, temples, and martyrs' steles in Ho Chi Minh City has been focused on with a total cost of more than 95 billion VND.
Continuing the revolutionary tradition, war invalids, sick soldiers, families of martyrs, and people with meritorious services have constantly strived to rise up, overcome illness and difficulties, and aim to build a prosperous and happy life. Many war invalids and sick soldiers have become shining examples in studying, working, producing, and raising their children to adulthood; many comrades have not only enriched themselves, but also created jobs for many workers, contributing to the economic , cultural, and social development of the city.
Representing 185 delegates with outstanding revolutionary contributions attending the meeting, Mr. Ma Thanh Son - a resistance activist who was infected with toxic chemicals - emotionally shared: "As the son of a martyr, as a soldier of Uncle Ho's Army, the least I can do is not to forget the blood and bones of my fathers and brothers, of my comrades who have fallen; not to forget that every peaceful moment we are living today is the crystallization of millions of hearts that have stopped beating for the country. Gratitude is not only in speeches or memorial wreaths. Gratitude must be deeply engraved in every action and every thought of each of us. That is when we live more responsibly, study and devote ourselves. Those values will always be the source of motivation for us to strive for a rich, free and developed country."
