Tet (Lunar New Year) is an important time of year for every Vietnamese person worldwide, but it's that little bit more special for Lu Van Phong and his family this year.

Many activities have been held across the country to commemorate the upcoming Day of War Invalids and Martyrs (July 27).

A memorial house dedicated to the fallen soldiers in the Vi Xuyen battle between 1979 and 1989 was inaugurated in the northern province of Ha Giang on June 25.
