The solemn atmosphere mingled with the excitement spreading throughout the space. When the National Anthem resounded from Ba Dinh Square, broadcast live, the entire sea of people at Boi Khe Pagoda stood up, eyes on the screen, hands placed on their left chests, singing the sacred songs. It seemed that no one knew that they were far from the center of the Capital, but all were in tune with the heart of the whole country. In that radiant crowd, Mr. Nguyen Van Trac (82 years old) shared emotionally: "I have heard and watched the National Day many times, but today, watching it with the people in the commune on the big screen right at the ancient pagoda of my hometown, I felt like I was reliving the atmosphere of the August Revolution days. Every time the National Anthem resounded, my heart was filled with national pride"...

Reliving the historic moment and gratitude

Every year, when autumn comes, all the streets in the localities are filled with flags and flowers. Not only is it a national holiday, Independence Day - National Day September 2nd in the hearts of Vietnamese people also contains many layers of meaning: heroic memories, gratitude and aspirations to reach high...

Veteran Nguyen Van Trong in village 2 - Van Phuc, Nam Phu commune shared: "For us, National Day is not only an occasion to remember history, but also a day to pay tribute to fallen comrades. Every September 2nd, I often remind my children and grandchildren to understand the value of peace so that they can appreciate what the previous generation sacrificed. The greatest joy of a returning soldier is not only peace, but also witnessing the renewal of the homeland, the people's lives becoming more and more prosperous. Once we have independence, our responsibility is to work together to build a rich and strong homeland and a civilized society. Only then will Independence Day be truly complete."

For veterans, the parade is not only a source of pride, but also a reminder for the next generation. Many young people were invited to watch and listen to stories from witnesses. Veteran Le Van Khoi in Hau Xa village, Van Dinh commune emotionally shared: "Every time I watch the parade, I feel like I'm reliving the heroic memories of the years holding guns to protect the Fatherland. Looking at the troops today, I remember the difficult days of the country. I'm so proud, like I'm reliving a historical moment. Today's young generation, witnessing those images, will certainly see more clearly their responsibility to the country."

For today's youth, Independence Day has both a sacred and familiar meaning, becoming a source of inspiration to nurture national pride and a motivation to strive in study and life. Dang Ngoc Anh, a student at Van Phuc Secondary School, Nam Phu Commune, shared: "For me, Independence Day is not only an occasion to recall memories of war and the sacrifices of our ancestors, but also a motivation for me to try to study, train myself, nurture my dreams and prepare for the future. We understand that the values of independence and freedom today are the result of the blood and sweat of many generations. Therefore, every small action in study, work or life is a way for the young generation to continue that spirit, contributing to building the homeland."

Nguyen Thu Ha, a 10th grade student in Binh Minh commune, also excitedly said: “I have never been to Ba Dinh Square in person, but watching here with so many people, I feel the atmosphere is so sacred. I am more aware of the responsibility of the young generation to study well and practice well to be worthy of the sacrifice of our ancestors”…
