HA NOI (VNS)— An artistic performance featuring stars from the Military Music, Song and Dance Theatre will be held next Wednesday to commemorate the 66th anniversary of the War Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27).

The programme will honour Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, the title granted by the State to mothers who have made great sacrifices to the national liberation and defence.

The show will give the audience a chance to show their appreciation directly to a number of these women, while on-stage appearances will also be made by individuals including 65-year-old artist Dang Ai Viet, who has travelled throughout the country to paint portraits of more than 1,000 Heroic Mothers.

The even organiser, the Viet Nam Martyr Families Support Association, will also use the occasion to offer presents, money and housing for martyrs' families.

The show will be broadcast live at 8.30pm from the Culture and Friendship Palace, 91 Tran Hung Dao Street, Ha Noi. — VNS
