Leaders pay tribute to fallen combatants

In this post, I would like to talk about the commemorated fallen heros and combatants to mark the 63rd War Invalids and Martyrs Day in Vietnam. This news article is about the politics of Vietnam. There were many leaders from the differences group such as from the Party, State, Government, National Assembly and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee (VFFCC) came to this commemorated. However, the reason why I choose this article is because this memorial celebration is very important to Vietnamese. They gave a priority to people who is martyrize for the nation. Even they passed away for a long time, they are still in every people mind.

In the article, it was said that all of the leaders from differences group were came to commemorate fallen combatants and heroes on July 27. They all laid wreaths and offered incense at the monument in Hanoi. They were included Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh, State President Nguyen Minh Triet, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, NA Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong and VFFCC President Huynh Dam in that place. Moreover, they went to late President Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum to pay tribute. In the same day, Vietnamese mothers opened the exhibition of more than 100 paintings featuring heroic in the presence of State President Nguyen Minh Triet. All of the paintings were selected by female painter, Dang Ai Viet, from a total of 266 portraits. While she was traveled through 18 cities and provinces from February 19 to June 26. Ai Viet thoroughly understands the losses and pain caused by the wars because she is a former soldier. In addition, she regards her journey as her way of showing her thankfulness and repaying a kindness of Vietnam's heroic mothers. Furthermore, the President praised the exhibition as a special and significant way of marking War Invalids and Martyrs. He also gave a nice speech to Vietnamese women who lost their women in the wars for more detail you can Click Here. Over all, Vietnam recognizes almost 50,000 heroic Vietnamese mothers who devoted themselves to the nation during the wars against French and US aggressors and around 5,000 of them are still alive.

From my view point, I think this commemoration was a very admirable celebration. I know that every country also have this ceremony. However, I believe that this way of showing gratitude to the heroes and martyrs was the best way for us to do. For Thailand, we also have Veterans' Day or Wan Thahan Phan Suek in Thai. It is a commemorates for the founding of the War Veterans Organization of Thailand. This ceremonies are hold at Victory Monument on February 3 of every year.
