The programme, directed the General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People's Army and produced by the Army Radio and Television Centre, is a political and artistic epic, a visual and emotional manifesto that celebrates love for the homeland and aspiration for peace, Vietnamese resilience throughout the history of defence and nation-building, as well as the image of "Uncle Ho's soldiers," a symbol of the national values of loyalty, dedication, and sacrifice for the people.

It portrayed a vivid image of a Vietnam united through its diversity and harmonious in its national identity.

The performance affirmed that "Under the Glorious Flag" spirit, we are one: one nation, one belief, one will, and one aspiration for the future. It also underlined that the solid foundation for the Party, the country, and the people is the heroic Vietnam People's Army./.
