On the morning of January 7th, in Phnom Penh, the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia, a ceremony was held to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the country's liberation, the overthrow of the Khmer Rouge regime, and the end of the darkest period in its history.
Today, January 7, 2019, marks the 40th anniversary of the fall of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, and also the 40th anniversary of the victorious war to defend the southwestern border.
Bullet marks are like a soldier's memory, forever etched in their minds. No one should forget history, a painful history, but one that also helps us appreciate the value of peace.
The march covered over 5.000 km over four years; never before had Vietnamese soldiers marched so far outside their homeland.
For the past 40 years, no Cambodian has forgotten the pain of the genocide that claimed the lives of more than 2,2 million people, a period during which Vietnamese soldiers had to overcome the haunting memories of the battlefield.
Forty years have passed, and veterans who fought in Cambodia are returning to their old battlefields, embarking on a journey known as "Touching the Memories."
Forty years have passed since the war to defend the southwestern border and liberate our neighbor from the Pol Pot genocide; this was a necessary war that Vietnam never wanted.
Not only did the Khmer Rouge regime cause the deaths of millions of Cambodians, but it also repeatedly attacked the Vietnamese border region, resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians in An Giang and Tay Ninh provinces.
Just as the fighting subsided after the war against the US, Vietnam was thrust into another "forced war," a pain that still lingers today in Ba Chúc (An Giang), a place that haunts the minds of any resident of the southwestern border region.
