Exactly 50 years ago, the revolutionary flag was raised atop the Independence Palace at noon on April 30, 1975, marking the resounding success of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign. The complete liberation of the South and the reunification of the country was a monumental victory after 21 years of resistance war. Looking back over the past 50 years, we take great pride in those glorious feats that shook the world and opened a new era — the radiant Ho Chi Minh Era.
But to achieve this brief moment of happiness, many gave their entire youth, shedding blood and tears to reunify the country and bring the mountains and rivers under one flag in April 1975.
Understanding the pain of division and the sacrifices of earlier generations in the great resistance war helps today’s generation more deeply appreciate the value of peace, independence, and national unity.
