The Pioneers of Viet Tan's Memorial Service is held annually to commemorate the Đông Tiến Heroes, the late Vice Admiral Hoang Co Minh, and the soldiers that made sacrifices for a democratic Vietnam. On the 31 August 2024, I had the honour of attending the 37th Anniversary of the Pioneers of Viet Tan's Memorial Service, hosted by the Sydney Viet Tan Party. Through video and oral presentations, songs and meaningful performances, the sacrifices made by the Đông Tiến Heroes for their homeland continue to be recognised and remembered. Viet Tan is an organization founded in 1982 that advocates for democracy, freedom, human rights, and reform in Vietnam. Their activities include nonviolent efforts such as raising awareness of human rights violations, mobilizing support from international communities, educating the public on political issues, and providing resources to activists within Vietnam. I also received the opportunity to present my Community Recognition Statement to the representative of the Viet Tan Party in Sydney, Mr Chau Van Kham for his activism. I would like to thank Mr Chau and the Viet Tan Party for their warm invitation to this significant event.
