Reading the offerings at the visitation ceremony, Mr. Le Truong Son - Vice Chairman of Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee said that all the remains of the martyrs this time have not been identified, their names, ages, hometowns, the few remaining relics are just bottles of essential oils, belts, concrete vases, rubber sandals, hammocks, tanks and weapons, the remaining remains have been mixed into the soil, luckily there are 13 samples of products that are eligible to send DNA testing.
From these few samples of biological products, along with the work of collecting DNA samples of unidentified martyrs being carried out nationwide, we hope to find relatives of martyrs, bringing comfort and soothing some of the losses and pain to the martyrs' families. No matter where you are, I pray that the souls of martyrs should consider Dong Nai as a peaceful land for you to rest in, Mr. Le Truong Son emotionally shared.
