(Baonghean) - On April 30, 1975, the moment the liberation army's flag flew over the Independence Palace signaled the resounding victory of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign, the complete liberation of the South, and the reunification of the two regions; our nation's resistance war against the US for national salvation reached its glorious peak with a brilliant milestone: the Great Victory of Spring 1975!

Forty-one years have passed, and the further time recedes, the more it illuminates the value of that glorious victory. The Great Victory of Spring 1975 opened the door to an enduring spring for the entire nation. The miraculous strength and valuable lessons from the Great Victory of Spring 1975 continue to provide immense motivation and unwavering confidence for the entire Party and people to quickly heal the wounds of war, successfully implement comprehensive reforms, gradually escape poverty and backwardness, and move towards new opportunities and a new position.
