On the morning of August 7, a delegation from the Party Committee and High Command of Military Region 7, led by Lieutenant General Le Xuan The, Member of the Party Central Committee and Commander of Military Region 7, held a flower- and incense-offering ceremony in memory of former Party General Secretary Tran Phu and fallen heroes at Le Thi Rieng Park in Hoa Hung Ward, Ho Chi Minh City.
The ceremony was attended by senior officers from Military Region 7 and the Ho Chi Minh City High Command. In a solemn atmosphere, the delegation paid tribute to General Secretary Tran Phu and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the nation's independence and freedom.
Following the ceremony, Lieutenant General Le Xuan The visited and presented gifts to officers and personnel carrying out the search, recovery and identification of fallen soldiers' remains at Le Thi Rieng Park.
Commending the search teams for their tireless efforts, Lieutenant General Le Xuan The thanked them for working through adverse weather and difficult terrain to recover the remains of fallen soldiers. He emphasized that the mission holds profound significance for both the nation and the families of the fallen.
He encouraged the recovery teams to continue their painstaking work, noting that even the smallest personal artifact could play a key role in identifying the fallen.
Every remain and personal item recovered may provide crucial evidence for DNA analysis, helping return names to the fallen and reunite them with their families after more than half a century. The nation and the families of the martyrs will always appreciate your dedication, Lieutenant General Le Xuan The said.
Representing Team K74, Lieutenant Colonel Ly Minh Van, the team's political commissar, pledged that the team's personnel would overcome adverse weather and difficult terrain to complete the search-and-recovery mission.
