National Day September 2 is a brilliant milestone, a day when our entire nation is proud of the heroic historical journey, of the precious independence and freedom won with the blood and great sacrifices of generations of fathers and brothers.

Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh spoke at the meeting, paying tribute to Vietnamese Heroic Mothers and People with Meritorious Services to the Revolution.

“The capital Hanoi, a place rich in revolutionary tradition, has had many outstanding sons of the capital who fought bravely and sacrificed for independence and freedom. Every inch of land, every street of the capital today bears the mark of history, is soaked with sweat, blood and tears of heroes, martyrs, wounded soldiers and those who have contributed to the revolution”, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh expressed and affirmed that the Government and people of the capital always deeply and forever remember the immense merits of the heroic martyrs, Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, Heroes of the Armed Forces, wounded soldiers, revolutionary soldiers who were imprisoned by the enemy. They are the ones who devoted their youth, blood and even their whole lives to the cause of national liberation, national reunification, building and defending the Fatherland.

In that spirit, the Party Committee, Government and people of the Capital always identify the work of "Repaying gratitude" and taking care of people with revolutionary contributions as a top priority political task, a regular responsibility and the sacred morality of "When drinking water, remember its source" of the nation. In the first 8 months of 2025, Hanoi City spent a total of 2,577 billion VND on preferential treatment for people with revolutionary contributions, with 76,462 people with revolutionary contributions and their relatives.

The Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee also said that at today's meeting, we are honored to welcome 7 Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, including 4 Mothers from the capital and 3 Mothers from Bac Ninh, Ha Tinh and Can Tho provinces. The Mothers are those who silently sacrificed, feeling most deeply the loss of their relatives and children who fought and sacrificed heroically for independence and freedom. We met 2 delegates of the Armed Forces Heroes, 3 Labor Heroes in the resistance war, 4 representatives of war invalids and 3 revolutionary soldiers who were imprisoned by the enemy from Hanoi and the provinces of Quang Tri and Phu Tho. You, my comrades, are those who participated in the fight, achieved many achievements, and contributed to the victory of the Spring of 1975, unifying the country.

Hope the capital will develop more and more

On behalf of the delegates, Vietnamese Heroic Mother Nguyen Thi Diem (in Chuong Duong commune, Hanoi) expressed her honor, emotion and pride in witnessing the sacred and important moment of the country as well as the capital.

Mother Nguyen Thi Diem respectfully thanks the city and local authorities for their special attention to the contributions and sacrifices of Vietnamese Heroic Mothers and people with revolutionary contributions.

Despite my old age and poor health, I will always encourage my children and grandchildren to strictly follow the Party’s policies and the State’s laws and actively contribute to the development of our capital city to become more and more prosperous,” said Mother Nguyen Thi Diem.
