Nations with more in co妹妹on than people realise

Many of those who proudly donned their uniforms for the event were employees of Đường, who firmly believes today’s soldiers are equally important to those from days gone by. 

He said: “The military's role is to protect the country's independence and freedom in both wartime and peacetime. In peacetime, the army also plays an important role in developing the country's economy. In fact, our country always has war, so the duty of the military force remains unchanged in any period.

“There are sacrifices in any period. The military force has to protect the country not only in war but also in peacetime. That is the mission of military force which is very sacred to the country and people.”

The event was opened with songs from former army personnel, including Nguyễn Thị Kim Thanh who entertained troops during the war with America.

And on Saturday she was back on stage doing what she does best.

“As a singer who served in an army, we will continue singing until we can no longer sing,” she said.

“Whenever we meet our comrades, it is always very touching. We always feel nostalgia when talking with each other about our old memories when we were on the battlefield. The emotion was overwhelming, it is very touching.

“We never thought that one day we could become grandpa and grandma. We never thought that one day we could be this old. The spirit of a soldier is always full in us, especially when we reunite with each other.”
