At the event, leaders of both Laos and Ha Tinh province, along with other participants, came together to offer incense and flowers to the fallen soldiers as a way of showing their deep gratitude for their sacrifice.

During the 2023 to 2024 dry season, a total of 11 sets of remains were collected by the provincial Special Task Force with support from authorities of Borikhamxay province and the capital Vientiane. All of them are still unclaimed.

Since 1999, the collection team of the Laotian province has successfully recovered and repatriated 821 sets of remains of fallen Vietnamese heroes from the neighbouring nation.
