| 80 years ago, implementing the policy of the Party Central Committee and the directive of President Ho Chi Minh, on December 22, 1944, the Vietnam Propaganda Liberation Army - the first main force, the predecessor of the Vietnam People's Army - was established. For the first time in the history of our country, there was a new type of army organized, led, educated and trained by the Communist Party of Vietnam and President Ho Chi Minh; a revolutionary army "born from the people, fighting for the people". |
