The 571st Motorized Division held a traditional reunion on the occasion of April 30th.

(Baonghean.vn) -On the morning of April 26th, in anticipation of the 39th anniversary of the liberation of Southern Vietnam and the reunification of the country (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2014) and the 55th anniversary of the opening of the Truong Son Road (May 19, 1959 - May 19, 2014), the Liaison Committee of Veterans of the Automobile Transport Division - Truong Son Army Corps of Nghe An Province held a meeting.

The meeting was attended by former leaders of the Division, its subordinate regiments and battalions, along with more than 400 veterans of the Division.

The revolutionary songs of yesteryear, which encouraged the fighting spirit of Uncle Ho's soldiers, resonate in peacetime.

The heroic 571st Mobile Military Transport Division was a strategic transport division of the Truong Son Army Corps throughout the years of the war against the Americans. The division participated in almost all campaigns during the war against the US. Particularly in the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign, along with other units, the division made a significant contribution to the overall victory of the nation. In the historic final days of April, the motor units of the 571st Division mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops from various corps to attack directly into Saigon, capturing the Independence Palace, the General Staff Headquarters, Tan Son Nhat Airport, and the Saigon Special Zone Command... After the end of the war against the US, the officers and soldiers of the division continued to perform international duties in Laos and Cambodia until the day of complete victory.

Teammates were happy to see each other again.

Undeterred by the long distance, Ms. Nguyen Thi Sam (from Con Cuong) and Ms. Trinh Thi Mui (from Tuong Duong) were overjoyed to meet again.

Every three years, the 517th Motorized Division holds a traditional reunion. This is an opportunity for former comrades from the 571st Motorized Division to reminisce about the heroic and glorious days of fighting for the liberation of the country.
