At 93, Vietnamese Heroic Mother Nguyen Thi Ruc recalls her family's role as a revolutionary base during the resistance war, hiding revolutionary cadres and supplying food, medicine and other necessities.
Her husband, Le Van Duc, and her son, Le Van Rang, were both martyrs. She was awarded the title of Vietnamese Heroic Mother in 2014.
On the same day, the delegation also visited 86-year-old Vietnamese Heroic Mother Tran Thi Tu in Thuan An Ward. Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc extended his gratitude for the sacrifices made by her family for the country's independence and freedom and wished her continued good health.

During the visits, Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc emphasized that caring for people with meritorious service and policy beneficiary families is a long-term responsibility of the entire political system and reflects Vietnam's tradition of remembering those who sacrificed for the nation.
He said that Ho Chi Minh City will continue mobilizing resources to improve the material and spiritual well-being of people with meritorious service and their families.
He also called on local Party committees, authorities, the Vietnam Fatherland Front and mass organizations to continue regularly visiting and caring for Vietnamese Heroic Mothers so they can enjoy healthy and fulfilling lives with their families.
