Search and collect the remains of 9 martyrs who died in Laos

After nearly 1 month,Martyrs' remains collection teamThe Provincial Military Command has searched for and collected the remains of 9 Vietnamese martyrs and experts who died in Laos.

Although the work of surveying, searching and collecting martyrs' remains encountered many difficulties due to the harsh climate and weather, the martyrs' graves were mainly located in high mountains, caves, deep forests, and areas previously targeted by enemy attacks, so there were many bombs and mines left. Information about martyrs' graves was increasingly scarce and scattered throughout the area; the complex terrain had many changes, and roads were very difficult to travel...

With the attention, leadership, direction and facilitation of the Steering Committee 515 at all levels and the Party committees, authorities, armed forces and people of the three provinces of Xieng Khouang, Xay Som Bun and Vientiane (Laos), the team's officers and employees have overcome difficulties and successfully completed their assigned tasks.

After nearly 1 month of surveying, searching, and collecting martyrs' remains in the dry season of 2024 - 2025, up to now, the Martyrs' Remains Collection Team of the Provincial Military Command has searched and collected 9 remains of Vietnamese martyrs and experts who died in Laos. Of which, Xieng Khouang province collected 7 martyrs' remains; Xay Som Bun province collected 2 martyrs' remains. Currently, the martyrs' remains are being brought back to the unit's barracks in Phon Xa Van town, Xieng Khouang province (Laos).

Identifying the task of searching for and collecting martyrs' remains as a particularly important task, showing deep gratitude to the heroic martyrs, those who fought and sacrificed for the task of building and protecting the Fatherland and performing noble international duties. Officers and staff of the Martyrs' Remains Collection Team of the Provincial Military Command regularly thoroughly grasp the importance of this particularly meaningful task, strictly comply with the instructions of commanders at all levels; raise awareness, responsibility and ensure safety in all aspects during the implementation of the task.

With the highest determination, not afraid of difficulties, day and night eating in huts, sleeping in the forest to search, collect and repatriate the remains of heroic martyrs to the Fatherland of Vietnam, officers and staff of the Team for Collecting the Remains of Vietnamese Volunteer Soldiers and Experts Who Died in Laos are striving to compete for the highest achievements, towards the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army (December 22, 1944 - December 22, 2024) and the 35th anniversary of National Defense Day (December 22, 1989 - December 22, 2024).
