The song "Sending You to a Distant Island" is a heartfelt confession, composed by Le Ba Thuong as a gift to the soldiers who are guarding the sovereignty of the homeland's sea and islands day and night. Not only is it a sweet love song, the song also honors the silent, noble sacrifice of the island soldiers through the feminine and emotional perspective of a girl in the rear.

The lyrics open with a cold, windy winter scene, evoking a deep longing for her lover at the edge of the waves. The girl's love transcends all distances, like a warm fire in the deep ocean: "Your eyes light up the full moon night". The chorus affirms steadfast faith: "The vast blue sea... on the faraway island, you stand guard", along with a promise of reunion with poetic lyrics, conveying the desire for peace and happiness when the soldier returns.
The song is a gentle combination of love between couples and love for homeland, expressing deep gratitude and pride for the island soldiers who are day and night protecting the sacred sky and sea of the Fatherland.
The song "The Soldier's Footprints" is an epic, full of emotion and meaning on the occasion of July 27. Opening with a tearful image of separation: "The dew falls on the lilac flowers like a mother's eyes blurred with separation", the song recreates the pain in the rear, when the soldier leaves his homeland to go to war.
Despite facing fierce battlefields, soldiers still maintain their will: "Truong Son bears the mark of blood and bones - Courage to defeat the enemy". The refrain is like a sacred call: "Advance for independence and freedom for the country, for a prosperous life for the people", expressing the spirit of youth dedication, ready to "exchange blood and bones for a peaceful homeland".
The song ends with a strong and emotional message: "The Fatherland will always remember you - the wounded and fallen soldiers of Vietnam", as the nation's heartfelt voice sent to those who sacrificed and those who are still alive but carry the wounds of war. The soldier's footprints are powerfully performed by the warm voice of singer Huynh Loi - famous for his revolutionary and traditional songs, contributing to highlighting the heroic spirit and national pride.
