WEBVTT 00:00:11.112 --> 00:00:14.272 Ladies and gentlemen, I am standing at Le Thi Rieng park, Thap Phap Chinh Minh, 00:00:14.552 --> 00:00:18.572 where in recent days, functional forces have been urgently focusing on searching, 00:00:18.572 --> 00:00:22.439 Repatriating the remains of martyrs who bravely sacrificed in the General 00:00:22.439 --> 00:00:25.252 Offensive and Uprising of Spring Mau Than 1968. 00:00:26.052 --> 00:00:29.836 And currently, on July 9, functional forces will continue to expand the scope 00:00:29.836 --> 00:00:31.292 of searching for martyrs' remains. 00:00:31.292 --> 00:00:34.092 after discovering martyrs' remains in the area earlier. 00:00:37.530 --> 00:00:42.210 Nearly 60 years have passed, under the green trees of Le Thi Rieng Park, 00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:46.310 fragments of a tragic and magnificent time of fire and flowers continue to be revealed. 00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:51.242 Now, the specialized force of the Thi Minh Cross Command urgently expands the 00:00:51.242 --> 00:00:52.970 scope of mass burial excavation, 00:00:53.390 --> 00:00:56.666 Mechanical devices are only used to peel off the surface soil layer with a 00:00:56.666 --> 00:00:58.070 head depth of about 2 meters. 00:00:58.110 --> 00:01:02.770 In deeper soil layers, machines completely give way to manual methods, 00:01:03.170 --> 00:01:06.630 under the direct guidance of people who have gone through history. 00:01:07.054 --> 00:01:10.720 In 1968, we were still on Tet holiday, but when we came out and saw it like 00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:12.014 that, we just stood and watched. 00:01:12.194 --> 00:01:16.522 Seeing them advise them to go down, they dug a long ditch and then put it down 00:01:16.522 --> 00:01:17.794 there, they just went down. 00:01:18.234 --> 00:01:21.914 One tunnel is about 300, two tunnels are about 600, 600 or so. 00:01:22.154 --> 00:01:25.294 Very happy, very happy, because I already pointed it out correctly. 00:01:26.194 --> 00:01:29.134 Now I'm continuing, I'm just waiting for the money to come out. 00:01:29.134 --> 00:01:30.974 Around year 1. 00:01:33.098 --> 00:01:39.286 It's that I came here with friends to bathe in this hole, because this hole 00:01:39.286 --> 00:01:45.886 collapses in the rainy season, it's like a pond, I also often bathe here to catch 00:01:45.886 --> 00:01:49.598 fish, sometimes brothers bathe and find bones here too. 00:01:50.598 --> 00:01:55.942 Then this hole is considered that from that year on, all the people around here 00:01:55.942 --> 00:02:00.573 also know that this hole is the hole of revolutionary soldiers who sacrificed 00:02:00.573 --> 00:02:01.998 and were buried here. 00:02:02.759 --> 00:02:06.819 From the valuable instructions of witnesses and historical documents, the 00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:10.879 search work is being deployed very urgently and extremely carefully. 00:02:11.279 --> 00:02:14.519 The highest goal is not to miss any position. 00:02:15.119 --> 00:02:22.514 In fact, tapioca has bones, tubers, bones remain, bones remain, basically 00:02:22.514 --> 00:02:23.859 bones remain. 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.136 If it has a bone condition, it can be detected as sea remains, thrown in a 00:02:28.136 --> 00:02:30.059 bag, it is sea remains, with orders from soldiers. 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.337 You know that having artifacts is having orders from soldiers, that is an 00:02:35.337 --> 00:02:37.579 affirmation of having orders from soldiers. 00:02:37.579 --> 00:02:42.907 We try to find all the uncles and aunts in this area, bring them back to 00:02:42.907 --> 00:02:44.239 Vietnam, and not escape. 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:49.646 Regardless of the artifacts or the smallest things of the uncles and aunts, 00:02:49.646 --> 00:02:54.737 the search force will strive, display, and try to bring the uncles and aunts 00:02:54.737 --> 00:02:56.919 back to their comrades and families. 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.891 Up to this point, 11 sets of martyrs' remains after being exhumed have been 00:03:01.891 --> 00:03:04.480 brought back for solemn preservation at the morgue. 00:03:04.940 --> 00:03:09.469 In order to effectively serve the work of identifying and studying the history 00:03:09.469 --> 00:03:11.560 of the conflicting battles of 1968, 00:03:12.340 --> 00:03:14.960 functional forces have decided to adjust the excavation method. 00:03:15.883 --> 00:03:20.130 Accordingly, we will conduct classes according to each grade 1, which is the 00:03:20.130 --> 00:03:24.703 end of this grade, then grade 2, grade 3 and to the next grades. 00:03:25.443 --> 00:03:29.289 And among them, we will also be very interested in the signature papers and 00:03:29.289 --> 00:03:30.663 signature objects of the landlords. 00:03:31.143 --> 00:03:34.863 Currently, we are coordinating with the Vietnam Military History Museum. 00:03:35.583 --> 00:03:40.852 When there are signatures and signature papers, we will coordinate to preserve, 00:03:40.852 --> 00:03:45.243 maintain and especially exploit the information in those signature papers. 00:03:45.243 --> 00:03:48.770 It is the purpose of finding the identities of the geomancers, to bring 00:03:48.770 --> 00:03:51.483 the precious tears, and comrades to bring the precious tears. 00:03:53.625 --> 00:03:57.513 In parallel with searching at the current incision, the Ta Pha Chi Minh 00:03:57.513 --> 00:04:00.205 Command will continue to advise on expanding the excavation. 00:04:00.205 --> 00:04:04.705 at ditch number 2 and ditch number 3, places suspected of being old-fashioned mass graves. 00:04:05.205 --> 00:04:08.533 The collected artifacts are being carefully studied in coordination to 00:04:08.533 --> 00:04:09.865 filter out each clue. 00:04:10.365 --> 00:04:13.801 The search is still ongoing with the highest determination so that after 00:04:13.801 --> 00:04:16.665 nearly 60 years lying in the heart of mother earth, 00:04:16.665 --> 00:04:21.360 They will soon be identified and return to the arms of their 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.925 families, comrades and homeland.
