Building a memorial monument for the event of cadres and students of Hanoi University of Science joining the army to protect the Fatherland

For many years, the Tradition Room of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has reserved a solemn place to honor soldiers who sacrificed and contributed to the cause of protecting the Fatherland.

In order to have a solemn and convenient place to commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed, remember the heroic and tragic memories in the great cause of protecting the Fatherland, educate the young generation to promote the glorious revolutionary tradition of the School, the construction of the Memorial Monument for the event of cadres and students of Hanoi National University participating in the army to protect the Fatherland (abbreviated as the Memorial Monument) is very necessary.

The Veterans Association of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities discussed the construction of the Memorial. During the Veterans meeting in December 2018, the University leaders acknowledged the proposal of the Veterans Association and pledged to support the construction of the Memorial.

With the consent of the leaders of the University of Natural Sciences and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, at the request of the Student Association of Soldiers 6971 and the Veterans Association of the two units, the leaders of the two schools decided to choose the yard of the University of Natural Sciences as the place to erect the Memorial. This is a location of historical value and sacred significance. At this location, on September 6, 1971, Professor Nguy Nhu Kon Tum, Principal of the University, saw off nearly 400 cadres and students from 7 faculties: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, History, Geography, Biology to go to defend the Fatherland.

Currently, the design of the Monument and administrative procedures have been completed, and the Monument is expected to be inaugurated in 2021.

We would like to respectfully send to generations of staff and students, individuals and organizations associated with Hanoi University of Science (now the University of Natural Sciences and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi) documents and images related to the construction of the Memorial.
