Association Chairman Hoang Khanh Hung said they are working closely with the US Institute of Peace, US veterans, and American universities to search for mass graves of wartime Vietnamese soldiers and return keepsakes to martyrs’ families.

“War is unwanted but must never be forgotten. The nation made enormous sacrifices for today’s independence and freedom. To date, 530,000 martyrs remain unidentified, including 180,000 whose remains have yet to be found. We must race against time. Though the war ended long ago, the pain still lingers among their relatives,” said Mr. Hung.
