National Day September 2 is a brilliant milestone, a day when our entire nation is proud of our heroic history, of the precious independence and freedom won with the blood and great sacrifices of generations of fathers and brothers.
“The capital Hanoi, a place rich in revolutionary tradition, has had countless outstanding sons who fought and sacrificed heroically for independence and freedom. Every inch of land and every street of the capital today bears the mark of history, soaked with sweat, blood and tears of heroes, martyrs, wounded soldiers and those who contributed to the revolution,” the Chairman of the City People’s Committee expressed.
Comrade Tran Sy Thanh emphasized that the government and people of the Capital always deeply and forever remember the immense merits of the heroic martyrs, heroic Vietnamese mothers, heroes of the armed forces, wounded soldiers, and revolutionary soldiers who were imprisoned by the enemy. They are the ones who devoted their youth, blood, bones, and even their whole lives to the cause of national liberation, national reunification, and the construction and protection of the Fatherland.
In that spirit, the Party Committee, government and people of the Capital always identify the work of "Repaying gratitude" and taking care of people with revolutionary contributions as a top priority political task, a regular responsibility and the sacred morality of "When drinking water, remember its source" of the nation. Over the years, the city has continuously made efforts to implement many practical policies and guidelines to improve the material and spiritual life of people with revolutionary contributions, expressing deep gratitude for their great contributions.
In the first 8 months of 2025, Hanoi city spent a total of 2,577 billion VND on preferential treatment for people with meritorious services, with 76,462 people with meritorious services and their relatives. The city organized 6 delegations to visit martyrs' cemeteries in the provinces and coordinated meetings with people with meritorious services, historical witnesses, revolutionary veterans, etc.
Chairman of the City People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh said that at today's meeting, the Organizing Committee was honored to welcome 7 Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, including 4 mothers from the Capital and 3 mothers representing the 3 regions of the North - Central - South from the provinces and cities of Bac Ninh, Ha Tinh, and Can Tho. The mothers are the ones who silently sacrificed, feeling most deeply the loss of their relatives and children who bravely fought and sacrificed for independence and freedom.
In addition, the Organizing Committee also met with 2 delegates of the Armed Forces Heroes, 3 Labor Heroes in the resistance war, 4 representatives of war invalids and 3 revolutionary soldiers who were imprisoned by the enemy from Hanoi city and the provinces of Quang Tri and Phu Tho. These comrades were those who participated in the fight, achieved many achievements, and contributed to the victory of the Spring of 1975, unifying the country.
“What has been done is still not enough to compare with the endless sacrifices and contributions. The Party Committee, government and people of the capital will continue to pay more attention to the lives of people with meritorious services and their families, ensuring that they always enjoy an increasingly prosperous and happy life, worthy of their contributions to the Fatherland,” the Chairman of the City People’s Committee expressed.
