National Day September 2 is a brilliant milestone, a day when our entire nation is proud of the heroic historical journey, of the precious independence and freedom that were won with the blood and great sacrifices of generations of fathers and brothers.

Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh spoke at the meeting, paying tribute to Vietnamese Heroic Mothers and People with Meritorious Services to the Revolution.

“The capital Hanoi, a place rich in revolutionary tradition, has had countless outstanding sons of the capital who bravely fought and sacrificed for independence and freedom. Every inch of land, every street of the capital today bears the mark of history, is soaked with sweat, blood and tears of heroes, martyrs, wounded soldiers and those who contributed to the revolution”, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh expressed and affirmed that the Government and people of the capital always deeply and forever remember the immense merits of the heroic martyrs, Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, Heroes of the armed forces, wounded soldiers, revolutionary soldiers who were imprisoned by the enemy. They are the ones who devoted their youth, blood and even their whole lives to the cause of fighting for national liberation, unifying the country, building and defending the Fatherland.

The Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee also said that at today's meeting, we are honored to welcome 7 Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, including 4 Mothers from the capital and 3 Mothers from Bac Ninh, Ha Tinh and Can Tho provinces. The Mothers are those who silently sacrificed, feeling most deeply the loss of their relatives and children who bravely fought and sacrificed for independence and freedom. We met 2 delegates of the Armed Forces Heroes, 3 Labor Heroes in the resistance war, 4 representatives of war invalids and 3 revolutionary soldiers who were imprisoned by the enemy from Hanoi and the provinces of Quang Tri and Phu Tho. You, my comrades, are those who participated in the fight, achieved many achievements, and contributed to the victory of the Spring of 1975, unifying the country.

Hope the capital will develop more and more

On behalf of the delegates, Vietnamese Heroic Mother Nguyen Thi Diem (in Chuong Duong commune, Hanoi) expressed her honor, emotion and pride in witnessing the sacred and important moment of the country as well as the capital.
