I have just arrived from Dien Bien Phu, I was very lucky to join the 60 year DBP victory ceremony.
You're so lucky, Van Nhan. These days we're living in heroic atmosphere of 60 years ago when a small nation defeated a super powerful French, who were colonists!
I saw the parade in Dien Bien Phu on televison. It was awesome! Our people and armed forces had shown the undefeated strength with the witness of international friends.
I love Vietnam, it's our tradition of defeating enemy to protect our beloved country. Whoever dare to invade our country, no matter how hard we have to suffer, we will fight and win the war.
