After 111 days of implementing the "500-Day Campaign to Accelerate the Search, Recovery, and Identification of Fallen Soldiers' Remains," authorities have recovered the remains of more than 1,300 fallen soldiers, collected samples from over 27,000 martyrs' graves, and accelerated unexploded ordnance clearance efforts, gradually advancing the goal of reuniting Vietnam's fallen heroes with their families and comrades.

Under a agreement, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will support Vietnam's efforts to find and identify the more than 200,000 remains of soldiers missing during wartime.
