Vu Van Luc, who has composed many songs about Truong Sa, shares his feeling: “I’m glad to be in Truong Sa to visit soldiers and islanders and have a chance to sing my songs in praise of Truong Sa. I feel proud and more responsible for the homeland. My songs are the message of gratitude for naval soldiers who are safeguarding the national maritime territory.”
