During the years of resistance against foreign invaders, the whole nation went to war. Youth volunteers and frontline laborers - mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters - left their fields and villages, put aside their daily work to sacrifice themselves for the country. Without guns or swords, they only had their shoulders as weapons, using their patriotism and strong will as strength to overcome mountains, forests, steep passes, and swamps.

The sacrifices of the frontline workers and the Youth Volunteers of all periods are shining symbols of patriotism and Vietnamese revolutionary heroism.
