After 38 years, martyr Nguyen Van Thuong has returned to his homeland, Nghia An commune (Ninh Giang).

At the Ho Chi Minh City Martyrs' Cemetery, information about martyr Nguyen Van Thuong does not have a specific location, only the province, so for many years, the family has not been able to find him. The Association for Supporting Families of Vietnamese Martyrs in Hai Duong province has checked the list of martyrs at cemeteries posted on the Information Portal of the Policy Department (General Department of Politics, Ministry of National Defense), matched it with information about combat units and the list of martyrs in the locality, and discovered a match with the grave of martyr Thuong. After that, the association reported to the locality and the family.
