Warm hearts of Hanoi youth's gesture of gratitude to heroic martyrs

During the gratitude week, towards the 79th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs' Day (July 27, 1947 - July 27, 2026), the Hoang Mai Ward Youth Union (Hanoi) organized general environmental sanitation and landscape embellishment at martyrs' memorial sites in the area, contributing to preserving "red addresses" to always be clean, beautiful, and solemn.

The activity attracted many people to participate, including union members, youth, students, representatives of departments, branches, unions and militia forces. Union members actively swept, collected garbage, cleared trees and grass, cared for flower beds, and cleaned the grounds at the Giap Luc Martyrs' Stele, Giap Bat Martyrs' Stele and the martyrs' grave area in Nam Du Ha People's Cemetery.

Sharing about the meaning of the activity, Mr. Nguyen Mau Thanh - Deputy Secretary of the Youth Union, Chairman of the Hoang Mai Ward Team Council said: "The activity of embellishing and offering incense at martyrs' memorial sites on the occasion of July 27 is an opportunity for union members and youth to express their deep gratitude to the heroic martyrs who sacrificed for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland. This is also a practical action contributing to keeping the memorial sites always clean and solemn, and at the same time educating the tradition of patriotism, the morality of'When drinking water, remember the source' for the young generation.

According to the Deputy Secretary of the Ward Youth Union, in Hoang Mai area, there are currently 3 memorial steles in Giap Bat, Giap Luc and Thinh Liet; martyrs' graves in Nam Du Ha People's Cemetery and Yen So Martyrs' Cemetery. These are all addresses with profound historical, cultural and traditional education significance. Therefore, the Ward Youth Union has developed a plan to implement many activities to celebrate the 79th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs' Day, in which the renovation and care of memorial works and incense offering are identified as one of the key activities.

In addition, through direct activities such as cleaning, caring for martyrs' memorial works and offering incense to commemorate, union members and youth have the opportunity to learn more deeply about history, about the sacrifices of previous generations, thereby raising awareness of responsibility, living with ideals, actively studying, training and contributing to the community.

Mr. Thanh emphasized that Hoang Mai youth will continue to maintain environmental sanitation activities, renovate and take care of memorial steles, martyrs' graves and martyrs' cemeteries in the area; organize visits and gifts to wounded soldiers, sick soldiers, veterans, former youth volunteers and policy families in difficult circumstances using socialized funds from officials, union members, and youth.

At the same time, the Ward Youth Union will organize a candle lighting ceremony in gratitude at Yen So Martyrs' Cemetery to commemorate Vietnamese Heroic Mothers and Heroic Martyrs, thereby continuing to spread the tradition of patriotism, gratitude and sense of responsibility of the young generation in preserving and promoting historical values, contributing to building Hoang Mai ward to become increasingly civilized and prosperous.
