Every year, July 27 is also an occasion for the entire Party, people and army to express deep gratitude to the families of those who have contributed to the revolution.

The noble tradition of "When drinking water, remember its source" has become a sacred thread connecting generations of Vietnamese people, a source of great spiritual strength for the entire nation to unite, overcome all difficulties, and build an increasingly rich and civilized country, worthy of the great sacrifices and contributions of generations of previous fathers and brothers.

In the article titled "When drinking water, remember its source", General Secretary To Lam affirmed that we could not have today, could not have a renewed, developed, deeply integrated Vietnam without the sweat, blood and bones of many generations of revolutionary soldiers, soldiers, youth volunteers, frontline workers, mothers and fathers who were ready to encourage their children to go to battle and take the hardships, difficulties and losses for themselves with the spirit of "Determination to die for the Fatherland", "All for the frontline".

Together with their fathers, more than 1.2 million martyrs, 9.2 million people with meritorious services to the revolution and relatives of those with meritorious services nationwide today, all of them are the immortal souls of the nation, the most beautiful symbols of Vietnamese revolutionary heroism. More than 3,000 martyrs' cemeteries, more than 4,000 works honoring martyrs nationwide are torches that always light up the achievements and commemorate the heroic martyrs.

Uncle Ho once advised: "For those who have bravely sacrificed part of their blood and bones..., the Party, the Government and the people must find every way to provide them with a stable place to live and eat, and at the same time must open vocational training classes suitable for each person so that they can gradually become self-reliant.

For martyrs in each locality, it is necessary to build flower gardens and memorial stele to record the heroic sacrifices of martyrs, to forever educate the spirit of patriotism in our people. For the parents, wives and children of war invalids and martyrs who lack the ability to work and are in need, the local government must help them find suitable jobs, absolutely not letting them go hungry or cold.
