Speaking at the meeting, Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Vo Van Mot affirmed that the Provincial Party and people of Dong Nai always remember and respect the great sacrifices made by heroes, martyrs and those who had contributed to the revolution. During the past years, the Party and people of the province have long worked out many priority policies in favour of war invalids, martyrs’ families and revolutionary contributors. The local authorities has encouraged the expansion of the “Gratitude showing” movement in the whole province so as to collect assistance, responsibility and sentiments to improve the spiritual and material conditions for war invalids and martyrs’ families. The practical activities have been launched such as caring for Heroic Mothers, weak and lonely parents of martyrs, providing vocational training and jobs for children of martyrs and invalids, helping seriously wounded invalids at home and in the community, building or repairing houses and setting up “Gratitude showing” funds. The life of those people has changed positively since the implementation of the Ordinance on Supporting Priority Policy Beneficiaries.
