Marking the 79th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27, 1947 - July 27, 2026), on the morning of July 27, the Party Committee, People’s Council, People’s Committee, and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the city held an incense-and-flower offering ceremony at Hue City Martyrs’ Cemetery to honor and pay tribute to heroic martyrs, who sacrificed their lives for the cause of national liberation and the defense of the Fatherland.

More than 16,000 martyrs’ graves in cemeteries across the city remain largely unidentified. The journey of surveying, collecting biological samples, and conducting DNA testing is not only a political mission, but also an effort to restore names to those who sacrificed their lives for the Fatherland, so that their families no longer have to wait in vain.
