"This is a reminder for the surviving comrades and future generations not to forget those who have fallen for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland. From the spring of Mau Ty 2008 until now, every 6th day of Tet, families and descendants of many generations of Saigon - Gia Dinh special forces gather at the common house, respectfully offer incense, flowers and commemorate the special forces soldiers who heroically sacrificed in the two great resistance wars of the nation", Mr. Phan Xuan Bien emotionally emphasized.
