In the story of Heroic Mother Le Thi Minh Thuy, the letter from her late husband, martyr Duong Van Thanh, is a farewell and a brave act. He sacrificed his life to protect others, steering his plane away from densely populated areas and directing it out to sea. These letters have stood the test of time and become an invaluable legacy, capturing moments of bravery, love and sacrifice —expressions of the children’s devotion to their families and homeland. Each letter contains words of encouragement, courage, and the thoughts of those who gave their lives for the nation.
In these letters, Martyr Duong Van Thanh tenderly addressed his wife, urging her to look after their young child, and expressing his grief at not being able to be with his family. He also shared his pride in contributing to the country, knowing full well the dangers that lay ahead. The hastily scrawled words on thin paper were not just expressions of his feelings, but spiritual legacies that left a lasting emotional impact on those back home.
With each letter, the mother, wife, and children of the war martyr not only receive not only words of gratitude but also feel the strength of the sacred love and faith in the future. These letters serve as a bridge between the past and the present, reminding us, the succeeding generations, to continue remembering and honoring these noble sacrifices.
The hastily written words on thin paper are not just farewells, but memories and unfulfilled wishes.
