The celebration of the Vietnam People's Army's founding day and the National Defense Day on December 22, with many soldiers on the construction site of houses for people affected by natural disasters in Gia Lai, took place in an untraditional way. With the spirit of "Quang Trung Thuong Thup Campaign" continuing to be implemented with a rapid, responsible and affectionate pace, they do not rest.
In the last days of the year, when many families prepare to celebrate holidays and Tet, in villages in flooded areas, officers and soldiers of the provincial armed forces still cling to the project, working day and night. The goal is to help people soon have a solid roof and stabilize their lives.
At the housing construction project for Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cuong's household in Kim Dong village, Tuy Phuoc Dong commune, the working atmosphere took place continuously. The sound of concrete mixers, hammers, and shovels blend together to create the rhythm of a non-stop construction site.
In the middle of the completed house, rustic gifts such as potatoes and cassava were sent by the family and the people to the army on December 22. No flowers, no banners, but contain the sincere feelings of the people for the soldiers who are working day and night for the people.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cuong shared that the soldiers are very supportive of the family. In the rainy and windy weather, the brothers still wear raincoats to work, sometimes supporting all night to keep up with the progress. On December 22, the family organized a simple meal to warm up the affection between the army and the people.
Visiting the 739th Regiment, Colonel Nguyen The Vinh, Commander of the Gia Lai Provincial Military Command, affirmed that the officers and soldiers participating in the Quang Trung Campaign clearly identify their responsibilities to the people. The teams work many shifts, throughout the holidays, even during holidays, with the determination to complete the project on schedule and ensure quality.
The spirit of speed does not mean being reckless. Each item from the foundation, wall to roof is carefully constructed, in accordance with techniques, ensuring safety and durability. Each house not only meets immediate needs but also aims for long-term use.
For young soldier Nguyen Quy Duong, participating in building houses for the people is a joy and responsibility. When he took on the task, he was not afraid of difficulties or hardships. Holidays or holidays become secondary to the desire for people to soon have a house and a place to celebrate Tet with peace of mind.
That spirit spreads over every team, every project. The unanimous act creates the collective strength of the Quang Trung Campaign, where each brick absorbs sweat and responsibility.
Witnessing the soldiers' dedication, Mr. Bui Thanh Long, Deputy Secretary of the Kim Dong Village Party Cell, expressed his emotion at the spirit of working tirelessly in the sun and rain, facing difficulties. The image of soldiers close to the people, for the people continues to be clearly portrayed.
At the meeting with forces participating in overcoming the consequences of storms and floods in the commune, representatives of local Party committees and authorities acknowledged and deeply thanked the timely and responsible participation of the provincial armed forces.
The newly formed houses are not only a place to shelter from the rain and sun, but also a symbol of the strong army and people, of trust in the Army. December 22 on the Quang Trung Campaign works became a "special holiday", where the qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers were vividly expressed through each act for the happiness of the people.
