Five martyrs' remains interred at Duy Son Cemetery

Authorities and local residents in Duy Xuyen held a solemn ceremony on October 12 to honor and bury the remains of five martyrs discovered at Hon Tau Mountain. The remains were relocated to the Duy Son Martyrs Cemetery for formal interment.

The discovery was the result of a multi-day search and recovery operation conducted as part of the ‘500-day campaign to search, collect, and identify martyrs.’ The remains were found near the site of Military Hospital 78, an area that experienced intense bombing during the resistance war against the United States.

Local officials and military representatives attended the ceremony to express gratitude for the sacrifices made for national independence. Authorities stated they will continue to cooperate with functional forces to search for and identify additional remains in the region.
