Funeral and burial of 156 remains of volunteer soldiers and experts who died in Cambodia

On July 18, the People's Committee of Tay Ninh province solemnly held a memorial service and burial ceremony for the remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who died in Cambodia, at Vinh Hung Martyrs Cemetery, Vinh Hung commune, Tay Ninh province.

Vice Chairman of Tay Ninh Provincial People's Committee Pham Tan Hoa spoke at the ceremony.

In this collection, 156 martyrs' remains were searched, collected and brought back to the country by Team K73 (Tay Ninh Province Military Command). Up to now, after 24 stages, the unit has searched and collected 2,933 martyrs' remains, of which 168 remains have been identified. This is the result of an arduous, dangerous but very sacred journey that the officers and soldiers of Team K73 have been tirelessly striving for over the past many years. Overcoming mountains, forests, harsh weather, and even facing the risk of bombs and mines left over from the war, they have contributed to bringing their comrades back to their homeland.

CBCS brought the martyrs' remains back to the motherland.

Vice Chairman of Tay Ninh Provincial People's Committee Pham Tan Hoa said: "The government and people of Tay Ninh are willing to continue to carry out the sacred task of searching for and collecting martyrs' remains in the next stages with the highest responsibility and determination. Everyone understands that the pain of war will only truly subside when no more sons of the Fatherland have to lie in a foreign land. Each found remains is a consolation for the family, a complete piece of history, a testament to the morality of drinking water, remembering its source of our nation."

CBCS buried the remains of martyrs.

At the same time, Comrade Pham Tan Hoa expressed his deep gratitude to the Government, the Royal Army and the people of Cambodia, especially the authorities of Svay Rieng, Phnom Penh, Battambang and Pailin provinces, for actively supporting the search work. The provincial leaders also sincerely thanked the close direction of the National Steering Committee 515, the Ministry of National Defense, Military Region 7, and the coordination of central and local agencies.
