Dear comrades!

These days 50 years ago, with the spirit: "Speeding, more speedy, daring, more daring", under the leadership of the Party, the army and people of the whole country, bravely arrived, overcome many hardships, sacrifices, made the great victory in the spring of 1975 and the peak of the Ho Chi Minh campaign has completely liberated the South, the unity of the country, the long -lasting resistance of the anti -war, the long -term resistance of the anti -war, the great resistance of the resistance, the long -lasting resistance of the anti -war Autumn the river to a relationship, bringing the country into the era of independence, unity, peace and development.

The spring victory in 1975 was not only historic for the Vietnamese people, but also the stature of the era, strongly cheering the movement to fight the national liberation worldwide. It is the victory of passionate patriotism, of the great unity bloc of the entire nation, of the will "nothing more precious than independence and freedom". And above all, it is the victory of millions of simple but extraordinary people, who are ready to dedicate their youth, even their lives to the country to be peaceful and united, for the nation to be independent.

In that common feat, we could not help but mention the special role of veterans, former volunteer youths and militia and militia - those who have fought on all battlefields, on all fronts - from the flaming front line to the solid rear, from the fierce battlefield of Truong Son, Tay Nguyen, the South to the war zones and enemy areas temporarily occupied. The veterans comrades - Ho soldiers overcome many hardships and dangers, wrote gold history pages on every battlefield. The volunteer youth - the "fire flowers" of a burning young age, rolled themselves in the rain of bombs and bombs, opened the way, loaded bullets, saved, created immortal miracles. The militia and self -defense force - soldiers in the village, day and night clinging to, protecting the homeland, both producing and fighting - is a firm holder in the back of the country.

During the years of arduous war, comrades - with passionate patriotism, brave spirit and faith, have overcome all losses and sacrifices to contribute to the victory of the Vietnamese revolution. Many comrades have fallen, permanently lying in the red mountains and mountains, in the motherhood. There are people who return to the wounds on the body, with the memory of war printed deep in the mind. There are people who continue to silently dedicate to the country in peacetime, from social work, economic development, and new rural construction to younger generation education.

On behalf of the Party and State leaders, I would like to express my deep gratitude and the most sincere respect for the sacrifices, great contributions, durability and silence of veterans, veteran volunteers and self -defense militia - for the independence and freedom of the country, for the happiness of the people. The Party, the State and our people forever remember the merits and dedication and sacrifice of comrades.

The generations of Vietnamese people today and tomorrow forever remember the great sacrifices of the children who dedicated blood and life for the river, for the longevity and development of the nation. We never forget the image of mothers, mothers "three times off their children, twice crying quietly", or "Mother still digs the tunnel under the cannon" and the gentle wives who become "the three women are" hoe ", plow; The young girls "gun on the shoulder of the square head" when the husband went to the front ..., the intersection of Dong Loc, Truong Bon, the female Gunners of Quang Binh fisherman, the battalions of the car without glass, Saigon girls to download bullets, KPA KPA, Ut Tich, Special Soldiers ... We could not tell all the respectable examples in the period of "to meet the hero" of the anti -American period.

I am very touched to express my gratitude for the great contributions of the people, armed forces, and historical witnesses who have contributed to the revolutionary cause of the Party in the cause of complete liberation of the South and national reunification.

I am very grateful to the thoughts and assessments that are responsible for the Party, the people and the aspirations to contribute to the development of the country of comrades. These are great encouragement, encouragement and encouragement for the development of the nation in the future. I appreciate the enthusiastic contributions of the comrades.

Dear comrades,

The war has receded, but the beautiful quality of the "Uncle Ho's army", of the youths of volunteers and self -defense militia still shine in today's life. Despite returning from the battlefield with many wounds on the body, even though the age was high, the strength was weak, the comrades were constantly dedicated, which is a solid spiritual support for the generation today and tomorrow. In any situation, in all parts of the country, the image of the comrades is always a vivid symbol of bravery, energy, optimism and iron belief in the future of the country.

Many comrades have actively participated in patriotic emulation movements, played exemplary roles at the grassroots level, contributed intelligence, experience and enthusiasm in political and social activities, built cultural life in residential areas, protected security and order in the locality, helped each other develop the economy, eliminate hunger and reduce poverty, and care for the younger generation. There are comrades who are prestigious in the community, building a bridge of solidarity between all classes of people. There is a comrade who is an example of a startup in peacetime, daring to think, daring to do, building an effective production model, creating jobs for workers. There are comrades who, despite their old age, are still actively participating in educating the revolutionary tradition and patriotism for the younger generation.

Regardless of the field, veterans and veterans of volunteers always show the spirit of "determination to win" and "speedy, daring" of the Ho Chi Minh campaign in the past, always dedicated, exemplary in work and life. By practical and practical actions, comrades not only continue to write heroic history in peacetime, but also contribute to nurturing and preserving the core values ​​that make up the strength of the Vietnamese people. Comrades are truly the pride of our army and people.

I am also very happy and moved to see that in recent years, the Veterans Association, the Vietnam Youth Volunteers Association and the militia and self -defense militia across the country have always maintained the revolutionary fire, promoting the quality of the "Uncle Ho's Army", the shocking spirit of the wartime youth and the resilient, indomitable tradition, loyalty to the Fatherland. In particular, all levels of the Association have done very well the role of fostering revolutionary ideals, patriotic traditional education for the younger generation, organizing many deep gratitude activities, contributing to the effective implementation of the policy of "drinking water to remember the source", and always caring and practically taking care of the material and spiritual life for members and former teammates - not to let anyone be forgotten or left behind.

Those meaningful actions are further affirmed: whether in war or in peacetime, comrades, uncles and aunts are always the core force, the solid support of the Party, the government and the people.

Dear comrades,

Our Vietnamese people have a traditional tradition of drinking water, remembering the source, being grateful and gratitude to previous generations. In each revolutionary period, no matter how difficult it is, our Party and State always attach importance to and implement the best possible social policies for those who have contributed to the country, those who have contributed and sacrificed for independence and freedom for the Fatherland.

Over the past years, the work of "gratitude" has always been one of the leading political tasks. The system of legal policies with preferential people with meritorious services has been constantly improved, increasingly synchronized, human and close to reality. Guidelines and policies such as subsidies, 100%health insurance, housing support, free medical examination and treatment, to the vocational training program, preferential loans, job creation, and care for children with meritorious services, all of which show the deep responsibility and morality of the Party and the State for those who have contributed and sacrificed blood for the country.

In particular, in Resolution No. 42-NQ/TW dated November 24, 2023, the Party Central Committee set a goal: by 2030, 100% of meritorious people and families of meritorious people will have an average living standard or better, with comprehensive care in material and spiritual aspects. The preferential allowance level will also continue to be adjusted to the highest level in the social policy system. Hundreds of thousands of houses of gratitude have been, are and will continue to be built across the country.

However, the most sincere gratitude lies not only in the policy, but also in the awareness and actions of today's generation. The lucky people live in peace and development, are responsible for continuing, preserving and promoting the revolutionary tradition, inspiring the next generation.

The younger generation today must live, study, work and dedicate to his father's sacrifice; Building a powerful country, fast and sustainable development, firmly defending independence, national sovereignty, maintaining peace - so that the sacrifices and hardships that the previous generation have experienced must be the foundation for the next generation to build and develop. It is the biggest gift that the younger generation can offer to the doctors and uncles - who have spent the spring age for independence, freedom and unity of the country.

Dear comrades!

In 2025, it is particularly important, the year of acceleration of successful implementation of the Resolution of the 13th Congress, organizing the Party Congress at all levels, preparing for the XIV Congress of the Party. The aspiration and vision of the development of the country is prosperous, happy and striving to 2030 our country is developing, having modern industry, high average income; By 2045, becoming a developed country, high income is a beautiful goal that we have to achieve when the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Party and 100 years of establishment of the country, requiring the entire Party, the entire people and the whole army to be a strong confidence in the Party's guidelines and the goals of the nation, confident in the strength of culture and Vietnamese people, great efforts, high determination and resilience.

We are facing 3 very important key tasks of the country: First, firmly protecting the Fatherland of Vietnam in stability and peace. Second, the country's development must achieve the set goals by 2030, 2045 - 100 years of Vietnam's independence, becoming a developed country with high income. Third, improve the lives of people in all aspects, fulfill Uncle Ho's wishes that everyone be prosperous, happy, and everyone be educated.

To carry out these three tasks, all Vietnamese people must be responsible for protecting the Fatherland in peace, stability and solidarity. Everyone must work and produce, must be creative, create more wealth and material things for the country, so that the country can develop, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world powers. The Party and the State must ensure a prosperous, happy, equal and free life for all people. People should not be left hungry. Everyone is given health care, everyone is educated, everyone is entitled to enjoy the revolutionary fruits of an independent and free country.

Trong boi canh tinh hinh quoc te va trong nuoc du bao van tiep tuc dien bien phuc tap va kho luong, co hoi va thach thuc dan xen, khat vong va muc tieu cao dep cung nhung doi hoi ay dat ra nhiem vu quan trong cho toan Dang, toan dan va toan quan ta noi chung va can bo, hoi vien Cuu chien binh va Cuu thanh nien xung phong, dan quan tu ve noi rieng tiep tuc dong hanh voi Dang va Nha nuoc, voi dan toc va nhan dan, vuot qua moi thach thuc, kho khan, dat nhieu thanh tuu to lon hon nua.

I deeply believed that the Veterans and Veterans teams, the militia and self -defense militia, no matter where they were living and working, with love and responsibility, talent and creativity, they could contribute to the country in their own way, increasingly active, educational, training younger generation, contributing to the common cause of the Party and the nation, cultivating the strength of the whole people, promoting the strength of the whole people, promoting the strength of the whole national culture, promoting the strength of the national culture, promoting the strength of the whole people Vietnamese people, creating great endogenous strength, bringing our country more and more developed, prosperous, civilized and happy.

Once again, on behalf of the Party and State leaders, I would like to wish the leaders of the Vietnam Veterans Association, the Vietnam Volunteer Youth Association and all the Veterans, Veterans and Militia who are present today to always live happily, live well, live usefully, and be happy with their children, family and society.

Sincerely thank you, comrades! ".
