We have had heroic, unyielding, and resilient generations before us. They were ready to fight and sacrifice to protect the independence, freedom, and territorial integrity of the nation. Today’s generation is truly proud, appreciative, and inspired by their legacy. We strive with all our might to contribute, continue building, and safeguarding our nation, determined to protect Vietnam firmly both today and in the future.
