The Viet Nam Invalids and Martyrs Day (27 July) is a special chance for the whole country to commemorate millions of martyrs and war invalids who sacrificed their lives and health during the wars.

In 1947, just two years after President Ho Chi Minh delivered the declaration of independence, the first decree on preferential policies for war invalids and fallen soldiers was issued.

The same year, July 27 was designated as the national day of war invalids, which was later renamed the War Invalids and Martyrs Day, to call on our community to support war invalids and martyrs’ families in acknowledgement of their contributions to the nation./.
