The ceremony marked the lead‑up to the 79th anniversary of Vietnam’s Remembrance Day for the wounded and martyrs.

Separate efforts to locate the remains of fallen soldiers continued, with the Ho Chi Minh City command uncovering 13 additional bodies and eight artifacts at Lê Thị Riêng Park, bringing the total identified remains there to 29. In Quảng Trị Province officials also outlined plans to search for dozens more missing martyrs.

Many visitors and veterans were moved to tears, reflecting the deep emotional resonance of these remembrance activities across Vietnam.
