These efforts aim to bring the remains into war cemeteries or return them to their families for burial according to the relatives' wishes. This activity helps to alleviate some of the pain and loss suffered by the parents, spouses, and children of the martyrs.

The martyr’s remains were gathered by the militia and self-defense force while renovating the unit's gardening area, which was previously the old local war cemetery. Although the martyr has not been verified, he will forever rest in peace next to his comrades and in the love and respect of the Party Committee, authorities, and people of Can Tho city.

On behalf of Steering Committee 515 of Can Tho city, Senior Colonel Tran Quoc Khoi expressed gratitude and commended the collective and individuals from the Truong Long commune Military Command for their efforts in searching and collecting the martyr's remains. This meaningful action reflects the deep gratitude of the Party, State, Military, and city authorities toward martyrs who fought and sacrificed their lives for the national liberation and reunification cause.
