"The annual celebration on April 30 reminds us, the young generation of the country, of the nation's historical milestones and the forefathers' sacrifice for our current life in peace. We should strive to continue their tradition in defending and building the country," Thuy said, adding that every year, on the Liberation Day her family used to get together and watch documentary films of the event with deep emotion and pride.
Various events are held simultaneously nationwide, and in HCM City in particular, to commemorate the Liberation-National Reunification Day, fireworks displays will be held on Thursday night, as well as artistic and musical performances, seminars and sports events.
The 27th edition of the HCM City Television Cup Cycling Tournament which kicked off on April 11 in Hanoi, is going to conclude here at noontime on Thursday.
