We agreed to try to build a project to bring the martyrs back to burn incense at their place of residence. Through mobilization and propaganda work, Thanh Nien Newspaper coordinated with us to clear the land. Through propaganda, the households supported and donated land. Finally, the project was completed thanks to the help of Thanh Nien Newspaper and sponsors. After taking over, the commune government will manage the project well," said Mr. Vang Mi Cau, Secretary of the Party Committee of Ma Le Commune (Dong Van District, Ha Giang Province).
The memorial stele to commemorate martyrs was built on the central hill of Ma Le commune, Dong Van district, Ha Giang province.

Immediately after the inauguration ceremony, delegates and people offered flowers and incense to pay tribute to the martyrs.
Also accompanying, Mr. Le Manh Linh, representative of the sponsor, said: "Our contribution to the construction of the Monument to the Martyrs of Ma Le Commune and Lung Cu Border Post is just a small contribution and the most sincere heart, the most practical gratitude to the Heroes who fell to protect the Fatherland".
"Today, on behalf of 5 families of martyrs, we are very happy to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Monument to the Martyrs of Ma Le Commune and Lung Cu Border Post.
