The great sacrifices of heroic martyrs and wounded soldiers have created a particularly meaningful spiritual value of "Determination to die for the Fatherland, determination to live", forming a "resilient and indomitable" Fatherland for the country's peace , prosperous development, and for the Vietnamese people today to be prosperous and happy.

Mr. Luong Xuan Hoa, member of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front , Vice President of the Association of Vietnamese People in Thailand, President of the Association of Vietnamese People in Udon Thani expressed his pride and gratitude for the revolutionary tradition and meaningful contributions of overseas Vietnamese to the country over the past nearly a century.
