Making a martyr recognition file for Mrs. Mai Thi Con

HƯNG THƠ |

Quang Tri - After the article of Lao Dong Newspaper, the units and family of Mrs. Mai Thi Con coordinated to provide documents, enough basis to establish a martyr identification file for Mrs. Con.

On October 6, Mr. Hoang Tuan Anh - Deputy Director of the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs of Quang Tri province said that regarding the case of female worker and self-defense soldier Mai Thi Con who sacrificed more than 50 years ago but has not been recognized as a martyr as reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, this unit is currently guiding Ms. Con's relatives to prepare a file to identify her as a martyr.

The provincial Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs held a meeting with relevant units and contacted Ms. Con's daughter, Ms. Nguyen Thi Cuc (residing in Tan Thanh commune, Dong Xoai city, Binh Phuoc province). From there, they found some important documents from 1967, with full information confirming that Ms. Con died while on duty in production and combat.

To prepare a dossier to identify Ms. Con as a martyr, this October, the provincial Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs will coordinate with the People's Committee of Vinh Giang Commune (Vinh Linh District, Quang Tri Province) to publicly post the case of Ms. Mai Thi Con's death. After the public announcement period, if there are no comments, the dossier will be sent to the Council for Confirming Meritorious People of Vinh Linh District for approval. Next, a report will be sent to the People's Committee of Quang Tri Province to issue a death certificate. Finally, the dossier will be transferred to the Ministry of Labor, War Invalidities and Social Affairs to issue a Certificate of National Merit.

“We have just been provided with some important documents made in September 1967, stating that Ms. Mai Thi Con died while on duty when a bomb collapsed the tunnel. Comparing with current regulations and collected information, we have determined that there is enough basis to prepare the dossier,” said Mr. Hoang Tuan Anh.

Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper had articles and information about the case of Ms. Mai Thi Con (Vinh Linh district), a worker at Quyet Thang Farm. Ms. Con died in February 1967, while on duty in combat and production, a bomb collapsed a tunnel. At the time of her death, the war in this area was fierce, workers like Ms. Con had the duty to stay at the farm, both fighting and producing.

When Mrs. Con died, her two daughters were still young and evacuated to the North. By the time her children returned, their husbands had remarried. The two children were ignorant and were slow in completing the application to recognize their mother as a martyr. When the application was completed, the regulations had changed, so they did not meet the requirements to be recognized as a martyr. Recently, some regulations have been removed, and the family has found important documents, so there is a basis to complete the application to recognize Mrs. Con as a martyr.
