On October 24, 2010, the first Congress of the Vietnam Association of Family and Friends of the Martyrs took place - a social organization with profound political, social and humanitarian significance; meeting the expectations of families of martyrs and society. Over the past 13 years, the Association has become familiar to many people, especially families of martyrs. Along with activities to honor martyrs, the Vietnam Association of Family and Friends of the Martyrs has built and developed a network with 13 provincial (city) level associations, 22 branches under the Central Association and more than 100 district and county level associations. It has been a member of the State Steering Committee of Project 150 for many years. With the consent of the Department of Meritorious People, Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, the Association collected samples of remains by grave group, directly organized the excavation of 11 grave groups at 9 martyrs' cemeteries in the Central and Southern regions, collected 393 samples of remains and went to nearly 20 provinces and cities to collect more than 400 biological samples of martyrs' relatives. The initial appraisal results showed that 38 cases were correct, and the organization promptly handed them over to martyrs' relatives. The Association also coordinated with functional agencies and localities to support families in evacuating and moving more than 1,200 remains from martyrs' cemeteries in the Southern provinces back to their hometowns. |
