In the solemn atmosphere of Le Thi Rieng Cultural Park – one of the key sites where efforts to recover the remains of fallen soldiers are underway as part of the 500-day-and-night campaign to intensify the search for, recovery, and identification of martyrs' remains – incense was respectfully offered in remembrance of those who devoted their youth and lives to the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.

The delegation offered incense at memorial monuments honoring the heroes and martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the 1968 Tet Offensive and Uprising, at the memorial sites dedicated to the fallen heroes Le Thi Rieng and Tran Van Kieu, and at other commemorative areas.

Standing before the names engraved on the stone memorials, history seemed to draw closer. Each name represents a life, a youth devoted to the nation. Particularly in a place where the remains of fallen soldiers are still being searched for and recovered, the sense of gratitude becomes even more profound and sacred.

Throughout its 50-year journey of establishment and development, UEH has also been shaped by the enduring contributions of successive generations. Those who came before have passed down a foundation, a sense of belief, and values cultivated through dedication, responsibility, and commitment, enabling today's generation to continue that journey through knowledge, meaningful work, and practical contributions to the community and society.

Offering a stick of incense in remembrance of those who have passed is also a reminder to the living: to cherish what we have today, preserve the values passed down through generations, and live in a manner worthy of the sacrifices made by those who came before us.

During these days of August, this is also how the UEHer community remembers the past, preserves cherished values together, and continues writing meaningful stories along the journey ahead.
