Through simple but touching stories, participants recalled memories of Naval Brigade 125, known as the unit of the unnumbered ships during the wartime, the Naval Sapper Force, and the campaign to liberate Truong Sa Archipelago.

The program was part of activities marking the 60th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Navy and honoring the courage and ingenuity of naval soldiers and their determination to defend Vietnam’s territorial waters.
