The program also featured stories of historical witnesses of the General Offensive and Uprising in 1975, including the People’s Armed Forces Hero Lieutenant General Doan Sinh Huong; wartime journalist Tran Mai Huong; pilot of the “Determined to Win” Squadron and the People’s Armed Forces Hero Senior Colonel Tu De, along with other veterans and historical witnesses in the Ho Chi Minh Campaign.
Through the program, the sound leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President Ho Chi Minh, as well as the pinnacle of Vietnamese military art, were once again affirmed. It highlighted the victory as one of resilience and intelligence, a shining symbol of national and international solidarity. Above all, it was a testament to the power of the people’s war strategy in the Ho Chi Minh era.
