Nearly 60 years after losing their
0:02
brother during the offensive, a family
0:04
in Tay Ninh has been given new hope.
0:07
>> And this couldn't have been done without
0:09
the wartime belongings recovered from a
0:11
mass grave at Le Thi Rieng Park in Ho
0:14
Chi Minh City. The belongings have led
0:16
investigators to a fallen soldier whose
0:19
name differs by just one letter from the
0:21
family's records. They are now waiting
0:23
for DNA results that could finally bring
0:26
him home.
0:30
>> Growing up in a family of 11 children,
0:32
Huynh Thi Le still remembers the day her
0:35
mother told her that her second oldest
0:37
brother, Huynh Van Quy, who enlisted at
0:40
18, had been killed in action.
0:44
My mother told us my brother had died
0:47
near the E bridge. She said many
0:49
soldiers were buried together in mass
0:51
graves. We never knew where to look.
0:55
For nearly six decades, the family had
0:57
no clues. That changed when search teams
1:00
uncovered personal belongings bearing
1:03
the name Huynh Van Quy during
1:04
excavations at Le Thi Rieng Park.
1:08
>> For 60 years, we didn't know where he
1:10
was. Our parents passed away without
1:12
ever finding him.
1:17
>> The discovery has brought hope, but also
1:19
uncertainty. DNA tests are still needed
1:22
to confirm the identity. Even so, the
1:25
new lead is more than the family had had
1:28
dared hope for.
1:31
We're so happy. We just want to bring my
1:33
brother home and hold a proper memorial
1:35
for him.
1:39
Investigators also found a discrepancy
1:41
in the record. The death notice lists
1:44
the name Huynh Van Quy, while the
1:46
national certificate of merit and the
1:48
recovered belongings bear the name Huynh
1:50
Van Quy. Officials say the soldier's
1:53
hometown, family details, and military
1:55
records all match.
1:58
>> There was an error in the documents.
2:01
Once the correct name is confirmed,
2:02
[music] we'll update the records so they
2:04
are consistent.
2:08
>> For the family of Phung Van Quyen, the
2:10
DNA results are only part of the
2:12
journey. What they long for most is to
2:15
call their brother by his rightful name
2:18
and finally bring him home.
2:23
>> The story just now is actually a part of
2:25
the 500-day and night campaign. And
2:28
staying with the campaign, three sets of
2:30
fallen soldiers' remains have been
2:32
recovered during an ongoing search
2:34
operation in Quang Ngai province
2:36
following fresh evidence about a
2:38
battlefield dating back to the 1968 Tet
2:41
Offensive. The remains were discovered
2:44
while excavation work was underway at
2:46
the Doc Gam Military Cemetery. Over the
2:49
past month, search teams have
2:51
investigated more than 45 locations
2:54
around the cemetery and along Truong
2:56
Chinh Street. The search was launched
2:59
after a U.S. veteran shared new
3:01
information about the site.
3:03
Investigators then matched his accounts
3:05
with declassified aerial photographs,
3:08
military maps, and witness testimonies.
3:11
>> [music]
3:11
>> They believe the area may contain the
3:13
remains of around 90 soldiers who were
3:16
killed during the 1968 Tet Offensive.
