On the occasion of the 48th anniversary of the liberation of the South and reunification of the country, with the consent of Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology Veterans Association, the Veterans Association in Ho Chi Minh City organized a march to the source and revisit the old battlefield in Dong Thap province on April 20, 2023. Attending were Comrade Le Ngoc Xuyen, former Chief of Office 2 of the National Center for Natural Science and Technology; Mr. Nguyen Van De, former President of the Academy Veterans Association in Ho Chi Minh City, and members of the Academy Veterans Association in Ho Chi Minh City.

During the journey back to the source to revisit the old battlefield in Dong Thap province, the delegation came to offer incense at the Giong Thi Dam Victory Monument – Go Quan Cong, which marked the victory of the 502nd Battalion of Kien Phong province to destroy an enemy battalion at Giong Thi Dam – Go Quan Cong in the first deployment; visit the Xeo Quit Historical Site, which is the Revolution base area (from 1960-1975) of the Dong Thap Provincial Committee. The delegation came to offer flowers and burn incense to visit the grave of Nguyen Sinh Sac, the father of the great President Ho Chi Minh.

The journey "Revisiting the old battlefield" is an opportunity for Veterans to review unforgettable memories for those who once devoted their youth to the cause of building and defending the Fatherland. This is not only the honor of the Veterans but also an opportunity to remind the young generation today and tomorrow to study and follow, contributing to demonstrating the traditional ethos of "Paying back gratitude", "Drinking water to remember the source" of the Vietnamese nation.
