Colonel Nguyen Van Tau
Half a century has passed since the reunification of the country, but the memories of those arduous yet heroic years of struggle remain vivid in the minds of many. Hero of the People's Armed Forces - Colonel Nguyen Van Tau, the legendary intelligence agent with the alias Tu Cang, couldn't help but feel emotional as he recalled his battles alongside his comrades and the poignant moments of national victory. He and other veterans shared stories of unwavering camaraderie and paid tribute to the heroes who fell for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.

This achievement is thanks to the tireless contributions of generations of Vietnamese people, including the crucial role of veterans – those who, after leaving the military, continue to dedicate their strength and intellect to the building and protection of their homeland.
