The delegation took turns to visit each grave to burn incense and express their infinite gratitude to those who died for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland and for their noble international duty. Each incense stick and each minute of silence at the cemeteries is not only a tribute, but also a reminder to today's generations of their responsibility to continue the revolutionary tradition and unite to build their homeland and country.

On this occasion, the delegation of Nghe An province respectfully presented gifts to the Cemetery Management Board, recognizing the dedication and thoughtfulness of the officers and employees in preserving and caring for the graves and memorial spaces.

For Nghe An, a land rich in revolutionary tradition, the homeland of President Ho Chi Minh and many heroes and martyrs of the nation, the work of "Repaying gratitude" is always considered an important political task.

The annual gratitude trips in July, especially at cemeteries where many Nghe An people rest, are both a way to share feelings and demonstrate the province's commitment to taking care of martyrs' families, preserving historical values ​​and educating the younger generation on patriotic traditions.

In the context of the entire Party and people looking forward to the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2, this commemorative activity has even more profound meaning, preserving sacred memories and turning tradition into a driving force to build Nghe An homeland to become increasingly rich and strong, worthy of the sacrifices of generations of fathers and brothers.
