In August 1945, seizing the "once in a thousand years" opportunity, under the leadership of the Party, headed by President Ho Chi Minh, our people, regardless of rich or poor, social class, religion or political tendency, rose up to carry out the "earth-shaking" General Uprising, seizing power nationwide, opening a new era for the country. The victory of the August Revolution in 1945 was the first great victory of our people since the Party's leadership. That victory also demonstrated the mettle and intelligence of the Party, headed by President Ho Chi Minh, who chose the right revolutionary path. 79 years have passed, but the August Revolution in 1945 still retains its stature and historical value, a source of pride urging our entire Party, army and people to continue promoting the tradition of great solidarity, overcoming all difficulties, and successfully implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Party./.
