SƠN LA — Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc paid homage yesterday to the heroic soldiers who laid down their lives for the nation’s independence and freedom in the northern mountain province of Sơn La.

The event launched nationwide commemoration activities marking the 70th anniversary of the Day of Invalids and War Martyrs, which falls on July 27.

PM Phúc offered flowers and incense at the historic memorial site for the Tây Tiến Regiment 52 on Nà Bó Hill in the province’s Mộc Châu township.

During the war against the French (1945-1954), Mộc Châu was the gathering place of the Tây Tiến Regiment, from where the soldiers spread out to fight across the northwest and upper Lao fronts, contributing to the victory over the French.

The Tây Tiến historical site inaugurated on August 20 last year has become a centre for historical education and part of a master plan for Mộc Châu tourism development.

PM Phúc said the soldiers of the Tây Tiến Regiment will be remembered forever in the annals of the People’s Army of Việt Nam. 

Their courage was a source of encouragement and an example for today’s young and future generations, said the PM.

 Also yesterday, PM Phúc visited the family of Nguyễn Thanh Lâm, a veteran in Mộc Châu Farm, who is disabled as a result of the toxic “agent orange” sprayed by the Americans during the war.
