Though the war has ended, and the nation is at peace, the scars and losses it left behind are irreplaceable. The pain will linger, but above all, there is glory.

We bow in remembrance of our fallen comrades with gratitude and deep respect. We express sincere emotions to the heroic martyrs, the Heroic Vietnamese Mothers, and the wounded soldiers who dedicated their youth to the motherland.

We deeply appreciate the value of peace today!

Every July 27th has become a national day dedicated to veterans and martyrs. In the heroic struggles of our nation and in the construction and defense of the socialist homeland, tens of thousands of outstanding individuals have sacrificed for independence, freedom, and the unity of the Motherland. Millions still carry the scars of war, leaving a part of themselves on the battlefield.

Twenty years have passed, and the principles of 'drink water, remember the source' and 'repay kindness' shine bright in the minds of every patriotic Vietnamese, becoming a societal movement caring for the material and spiritual life of families of martyrs, veterans, and policy beneficiaries. From youth to the elderly, from economic entities to schools and hospitals, everyone engages in meaningful activities to express gratitude and honor those who sacrificed for the nation's independence and the happiness of the people.

During the 'Month of July Gratitude,' our country and people will forever remember and deeply appreciate the immense contributions of martyrs and veterans who fought to liberate the nation and protect our beloved Vietnam.

We extend our sincere wishes to the Heroic Vietnamese Mothers, comrades who are veterans, disabled veterans, families of martyrs, and those with meritorious services for the country—may you all enjoy good health and happiness.

Even though many years have passed since the war, its lingering effects remain. For the independence and freedom of our homeland, so much sweat, blood, and tears have soaked the soil of our motherland. Countless exceptional individuals have fallen, many have returned forever changed, bearing permanent scars... Millions of families, including grandparents, parents, husbands, wives, and children, have been forever separated from their loved ones.

We express our deep gratitude to the older generation who sacrificed their youth and blood for the nation. We wish our elderly and veteran community good health and optimism, overcoming all health challenges.

“I grew up when the country was no longer divided into North and South, Didn't know what war was, only left in my father's stories…”

That's just a nostalgic song I often hear, but perhaps it represents an entire generation. Why? Because we didn't witness the cruelty of war, the hardships of reluctant soldiers forced to carry guns, or the suffering of the home front... We didn't experience the war, didn't feel the pity for mothers who lost their children, children who lost their fathers, and, of course, we couldn't see the glory when the whole country joyfully achieved liberation and reunification, as we weren't born then!

Although the war has passed, its consequences persist. It left behind for each person, each family, friends, and relatives of veterans and martyrs. Mothers who lost their children, wives who lost their husbands... and now the Truong Son Trail, Road 9 Cemetery, countless graves, abandoned villages, disabled veterans' camps, and many children born with defects throughout the country. These are evidence of the war's atrocities, the heartbreaking sounds that resonate through the land and sky.

Their youth passed in the flames; war robbed happiness from love and youth. Who wouldn't be fond of spring? Who wouldn't want the radiant eyes and moist lips when life is still at the age of 20?... But the 20s of that era had to put aside the dreams of happiness they were supposed to have.

Standing before the independence of Vietnam at the age of 20, I respectfully send my wishes on July 27th to express eternal gratitude.

Though war has retreated for more than XX years, our nation has achieved independence and unity. Yet, as Vietnamese citizens, we never cease to feel the weight of the losses and pain left behind. The valiant sons of the Motherland, some still among us, while others rest in the embrace of our beloved soil. Nevertheless, their feats and names have become immortal, engraved in the history of our people and forever remembered by generations of Vietnamese.

“Boat downstream, Thach Han kindly row,
The riverbed is still where my friend lies low,
At the age of twenty, becoming waves of water,
Lapping peacefully on the shore for a thousand years...”

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the generations that fought for independence and peace for our homeland today. Living in an era of peace, singing with uplifted voices, we will never forget the land beneath our feet, soaked with the sweat, blood, and sacrifice of our forefathers. May we live up to the expectations of the generations that came before us - these wishes on July 27th.

In the days of July, the entire nation solemnly remembers the heroic martyrs who sacrificed for peace, independence, and pays tribute to those who returned after the smoke of bombs, leaving a part of their blood and bones on the battlefield to protect peace for the Fatherland and its people. They departed for noble goals, falling heroically; the hands of the enemy heavily scarred the land, yet never changed the essence of the Vietnamese people. Remembering the source while drinking water, it is the beautiful principle of the nation, and our achievement of peace and independence today is largely due to the contributions of previous generations.

Although the war has receded, the images of these heroes still live on in the heart of the motherland, enduring in our generation today and those to come. For this reason, we extend our wishes to everyone on July 27th with gratitude and reverence.

No one chooses their own death, and no one wishes to die, for no death is as meaningful as living. But when the homeland is in danger, the ancestral land, the cause, and the tombs of our ancestors are threatened, parents, siblings, spouses, relatives are endangered, and wealth, village fields are invaded, choosing death for the nation's survival is a glorious and noble choice. Each body laid down, each part of the body lost, is a shining light illuminating the path of building and protecting the homeland. It is golden words deeply engraved in the 4,000-year history of nation-building and heroic national defense.

To liberate and unify the country as it is today, many brave souls sacrificed or left a part of their bodies on the battlefield. They lived and fought for noble ideals such as 'nothing is more precious than independence and freedom' and 'all for the reunification of the Fatherland.'

And today, I get to live in peace, knowing that it is priceless happiness. Forever grateful to those who gave their all for the Fatherland.

On July 27th, the whole country sends wishes for Veterans and Martyrs Day. The nation is immersed in a joyful yet solemn atmosphere commemorating this heroic day. Each person has their way of expression, and we have our unique way, which is to write special words of gratitude.

War has led many sons and daughters of Vietnam never to return. There are farewells that have become part of history, and many still haven't found their remains. The surviving warriors, carrying fragments of bullets and bombs, remain steadfast, contributing their efforts to building the homeland.

We are the younger generation, we did not witness, and it is difficult for us to truly feel these sacrifices. But above all, through our lessons, we know that the Vietnam we have today is thanks to those who fell. Thanks to those who sacrificed, we have the Vietnam we cherish today.

We remember the heroic martyrs and send our sincerest wishes on July 27th.

The history of the Vietnamese nation has placed the youth in a special position. It is the position to fight and triumph over the most brutal enemies of the 20th century. Answering the call of the Motherland, millions of outstanding sons and daughters of our nation, mostly the youth, sacrificed their youth and lives for the homeland. Some fell on the battlefield, while others returned with the scars of war. Millions of families of martyrs, wives anxiously waiting for their husbands, mothers eagerly waiting for sons who will never return...

For generations, the Motherland will never forget the dedication of the soldiers who devoted their entire lives to the cause of national liberation and reunification. We wish these heroes always worthy of being the soldiers of Uncle Ho in the new century and to have abundant health to lead the next generation of the nation.

War has passed for many years, but its consequences and echoes are still vast and intense, forever imprinted in the minds of each generation of the Vietnamese people. As July 27 approaches, it is a day dedicated to remembering the martyrs who sacrificed themselves for the country, for independence and freedom. They departed for noble goals and fell heroically. The enemy's hand devastated the country, but it never changed the essence of the Vietnamese people. Remembering the source is the noble principle of the nation, and the peace and independence we have today are largely due to the contributions of previous generations.

On this day, allow me to express the simplest and most sincere gratitude for July 27 to those who dedicated themselves to the cause of liberation and protection of the Motherland. I offer an incense stick in profound condolences to those who rest in peace.
