Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc shared that the Fist Monument as well as many martyrs' cemeteries across the country have demonstrated the heroic cause of protecting the Fatherland of the nation.
"Grass can grow freely on the cemetery land, but we are not allowed to be carefree about that," said Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc.
After the incense offering ceremony, the delegation of Ho Chi Minh City sent to the officers, navy soldiers and people of Phu Quoc island the sentiments of the Party Committee, government and people of Ho Chi Minh City, through gifts, which were the dedication of many agencies, units, organizations, individuals and delegates participating in the journey.
