On the occasion of the 78th anniversary of the War Invalids and Martyrs Day, General Secretary To Lam wrote an article "When drinking water, remember its source".
According to the article, every year in July, our people celebrate the most sacred and deepest feelings to remember and express gratitude to those who sacrificed for the country's rivers, heroic martyrs, war invalids, and sick soldiers - those who did not spare their blood and bones, their lives for the independence, freedom and peace of the Fatherland.
July 27 every year is also an occasion for the entire Party, people and army to express their deep gratitude to the families of people with meritorious services to the revolution.
The noble tradition of "remembering the source when drinking water" has become a sacred bond connecting generations of Vietnamese people, a great source of spiritual strength for the entire nation to unite, overcome all difficulties, build an increasingly rich and civilized country, worthy of the great sacrifices and contributions of the previous generations.
