Speaking at the ceremony, Ms. Dang Thi Gai, President of the Thai-Vietnamese Association of Khon Kaen Province, shared: "In the sacred atmosphere of April 30, 1975 - the Day of Southern Liberation and National Reunification, my heart is filled with emotion. Even though many years have passed, every time this day comes, I always tell my children and grandchildren about the heroic years of the nation, when the whole country shared the same will and aspiration to regain peace and unify the country.
The victory of April 30, 1975 was not only a military victory, but also a victory of patriotism and the indomitable spirit of solidarity of our people.
Living in a foreign land, the more I miss my homeland, the more I cherish the sacrifices and losses of my ancestors. I hope that my children and grandchildren, no matter where they were born and raised, will always remember their roots and be proud of the heroic history of the Vietnamese people. I bow my head in gratitude to those who fell for independence and freedom. And I wish our country Vietnam to always develop, be strong, peaceful and happy."
