Human love after the war
As scheduled, every time it comes to July 27 - the day of gratitude to heroic martyrs and war invalids Nguyen Van Dung (residing in Bac Nha Trang ward, Khanh Hoa) is restless and anxious. Mr. Dung calculated the time to arrange to come and burn incense for his deceased comrades and organize a meeting with relatives of Truong Sa veterans - a job he always considers an indispensable obligation.
Returning from Truong Sa after 1988, Mr. Dung called it "luck" and believed: "We must live longer for our comrades who have returned to the sea". The way Mr. Dung cursed was to go to school despite his old age. He went to school to make ends meet, to have the conditions to take care of his parents and relatives.
Over the years, Mr. Dung has continuously connected relatives of Truong Sa soldiers' families. Two times a year, he organizes meetings with more than 100 relatives and veterans of Truong Sa in Nha Trang. With his accumulated income from restaurant business, he has given hundreds of gifts, scholarships... as a way to share, helping his teammates and their relatives to improve their lives.
For veteran ofac Ma - Mr. Le Minh Thoa (living in Gia Lai), 8 years since the inauguration of theac Ma Soldiers Memorial Site have been about the same as the year he has come to offer incense on the occasion of the death anniversary ofacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacac He rode his motorbike hundreds of kilometers to light an incense burner for his comrades.

Lighting up history for the younger generation
Coming back with the necessary luggage to prepare for the special program "Reseurces - Learning about the Dong Bo revolutionary base" for union members on July 27, Mr. Pham Vu Thanh An - Head of the STEAM Nha Trang group - could not help but feel relief.
For that teacher, "remembering the source when drinking water" is a way to guide students to know history to show gratitude. The "back to the source" journey is a program maintained by the group for the past 3 years, with a scientific and simple approach, helping students touch the revolutionary history of the locality. There have been more than 1,000 union members, youth and students participating in the program who have overcome challenging journeys such as climbing steep slopes, climbing rocks, deciding passages, transforming into doctors in the future... "You will be able to go into practice, touch the past with historical witnesses will be deeply engraved in your mind. Historical lessons are no longer just on the page of the book but are lit up from reality so that students can better understand the meaning of drinking water from memory" Mr. An emphasized. According to the Department of Home Affairs of Khanh Hoa province, the whole province currently has 7,270 martyrs' graves in martyrs' cemeteries and 1,684 martyrs' graves outside cemeteries. From 2021 to now, the locality has received 79 collected martyrs' remains.
In recent years, Khanh Hoa has devoted a lot of resources to implementing policies for people with revolutionary contributions. Of which, the province fully implements policies and regimes for 8,376 cases receiving monthly allowances with a total regular allowance of more than 25.1 billion VND. In addition, Khanh Hoa also implements a number of specific policies such as supporting cases of meritorious people and relatives of war invalids and martyrs on the occasion of holidays during the year, adding incentives for Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, parents, martyrs' spouses aged 80 and over and those aged 100 and over...
