Promoting the morality of “When drinking water, remember its source” and deep gratitude to previous generations, in the A80 event, Hanoi City Police not only organized to ensure absolute security and order, but also paid attention to arranging, supporting, and creating favorable conditions for veterans, the elderly, and the people of the capital to enjoy the national festival.

The 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025) and the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025) are important events for the country. With a sense of responsibility, the Hanoi City Police have comprehensively deployed plans to ensure security and order to serve the people and tourists attending the event.

In particular, to show gratitude for the contributions of previous generations, the City Police proactively coordinated with relevant agencies and units to arrange thousands of seats in convenient locations along the streets for veterans and the elderly to directly watch the parades. Along with that, many veterans and the elderly were supported by the City Police in terms of medical care and transportation so that they could fully attend the great festival of the country.

Among the veterans supported by the City Police to attend the Commemoration Ceremony was Mr. Le Binh (born in 1927, currently residing in Hoang Liet Ward, Hanoi), one of the “living witnesses” of history. After participating in the August 1945 General Uprising in his hometown of Thanh Chuong, Nghe An (now Bich Hao Commune, Nghe An Province), Mr. Le Binh continued to fight in Upper Laos and the Dien Bien Phu Campaign in 1954.

In October 1954, Mr. Le Binh was honored to be in the victorious army returning to take over the capital. After that, he was an officer of the Guard Command, tasked with protecting Uncle Ho. With his achievements, Mr. Le Binh was honored to receive the Third Class Glorious Soldier Medal, the First Class Victory Medal, the First Class Resistance Medal and many other forms of commendation.

Despite his advanced age and the difficulty of traveling, Mr. Le Binh still cherishes the hope of attending the A80 Anniversary Celebration. For him, this is not only an honor and pride, but also an opportunity to witness the changes of the country after 80 years.

After directly visiting, presenting gifts, understanding Mr. Le Binh's thoughts and wishes as well as reviewing the conditions, Hanoi City Police coordinated with relevant departments, branches and units to arrange a plan to support Mr. Le Binh to attend the Anniversary Ceremony at Ba Dinh Square on September 2. Along with arranging accommodation and transportation, the City Police also assigned medical staff to regularly monitor Mr. Le Binh's health, ensuring absolute safety during the event.

As for veteran Phan Van Minh, born in 1958, a Cor ethnic (Quang Ngai province), this is his first time in Hanoi. In a conversation with officers and soldiers of the Hanoi City Police, he said that his family works in forestry and his economic conditions are not very good, but with the desire to directly attend the "national festival", he set out for Hanoi.

Arriving in the capital, Mr. Minh's initial plan was to "sleep anywhere" but through the connection of volunteers, he was invited to a free room for veterans. After understanding Mr. Phan Van Minh's situation and conditions, the City Police contacted and arranged accommodation at the City Police Guest House and coordinated with relevant agencies so that Mr. Minh could fully attend the A80 Anniversary Ceremony. Colonel Nguyen Tien Dat, Deputy Director of the City Police, directly met, talked and encouraged Mr. Phan Van Minh.

Sharing their feelings, Mr. Le Binh and Mr. Phan Van Minh expressed their deep gratitude to the Party Committee, the Board of Directors of the City Police and the officers and soldiers of the Capital Police for their timely support and creating the most favorable conditions for the opportunity to attend the special commemorative event of the country. It was not only an honor to directly witness the great moment of the nation but also a great spiritual encouragement, helping the previous generation feel the care and respect of the Party, the State and the Police force for their contributions and sacrifices.

Hanoi City Police determined that the A80 anniversary is not only an important political event of the country but also an opportunity to spread the tradition of "remembering the source of water when drinking" and "repaying gratitude". Therefore, along with mobilizing maximum forces and means to ensure absolute safety for the anniversary activities, the City Police also strived to do a good job of mass mobilization, closely connecting with the people. These practical and meaningful actions have left a deep impression, demonstrating the gratitude, affection and responsibility of the Capital Police force towards previous generations, while spreading the beautiful and humane images of the City Police.
