Before the spirit of President Ho Chi Minh, Heroic Vietnamese Mothers, Heroes of the People’s Armed Forces and more than 45,600 fallen heroes, the top legislator and his delegation expressed profound gratitude to those who sacrificed their lives for national liberation, as well as the construction and defence of the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland.
