Mekong Delta: Quân khu 9 to Collect 210 Martyred Remains in Dry Season 2025-2026

In Vietnam's southern Mekong Delta region, Quân khu 9 (9th Military Region) is actively engaged in the search and collection of remains of 210 fallen soldiers during the 2025-2026 dry season. This initiative involves personnel from Unit K90, under the Political Department of Quân khu 9, collaborating closely with local Party committees, authorities, and relevant agencies. The operation is being conducted in areas including Can Tho city, Ca Mau province, and Vinh Long province. With a strong sense of responsibility and determination, efforts are underway to respectfully locate and gather the remains of the war martyrs. Vietnam has a long history of war, with many citizens sacrificing their lives for the nation. The collection and repatriation of the remains of fallen soldiers hold significant importance in honoring their sacrifices, comforting their families, and fostering social unity. The Mekong Delta, in particular, was a frequent site of intense conflict during the Vietnam War, and it is believed that many remains are still undiscovered. The activities undertaken by Quân khu 9 extend beyond mere bone collection; they are also crucial for the inheritance of national historical memory and for peace education for future generations. Within Vietnam's one-party system, such efforts are also viewed as a way to enhance national prestige and cultivate patriotism among citizens. Despite its continuous economic growth, Vietnam's past wartime experiences remain deeply ingrained in its present society, and these initiatives can serve as a symbol of national cohesion.
