In 1968, due to the urgent needs of the Southern battlefield, the 4th Military Region Command established the 27th Infantry Regiment to promptly support the battlefield.
From 1968 to 1974, Regiment 27 participated in the battle at Quang Tri battlefield of the B5 front, directly liberating the two districts of Trieu Phong and Hai Lang - Quang Tri. In early 1975, the Regiment participated in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, completely liberating the South and unifying the country.
At the ceremony, the liaison committee presented 21 gifts to the martyrs' relatives, wounded and sick soldiers, and 19 gifts to Vietnamese Heroic Mothers. Here, the veterans also reviewed the regiment's heroic fighting process, visited and encouraged each other to overcome all difficulties in life, and forever uphold the qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers.
