Vinh Cuu District Veteran Association  Promotes Revolutionary Virtue of Uncle Ho’s Soldiers 

Ho Quoc Nghi, The well working Veteran member

    With the virtue of soldier after the war, each member of Vinh Cuu veteran association continually learned and developed economy in the modernization and integration period.

    Today more and more well working examples among the members emerge, especially those who are ethnic and religious. Typical individual is Mr. Ly Xuan Dinh, Nung ethnic minority (in Vinh An town) who gained annual household income of about VND one billion. Another member, Mr. Nguyen Van Tai, Tay ethnic minority (Hieu Liem commune) has been considered the active head of association for 15 years. In addition, Mr. Ho Quoc Nghi, Ch’ro ethnic minority (Phu Ly commune) is an example for household economic development and cultural family building. Mr. Nguyen Minh Doan in Vinh Cuu multi-faculty hospital is an example of dedicating and kind-hearted catholic doctor and many more examples in daily life.

    Mr. Ho Quoc Nghi aged 73, Ch’ro ethnic, member of Phu Ly commune veteran association said: “I was born and grew up in Dong Nai, a place with revolutionary tradition. I was attracted by the appeal of Communists’ Party and Uncle Ho to be a resistance fighter in Vietnam war and wounded with a crippled left arm. After the national unity, I continued to work in post office and retired in 1986 for health problems. As a veteran, I always think that “the invalid is but not disabled”. With an invalid pension for a large family, I constantly encourage my family to work hard and unite to overcome difficulties in life. As a communist when I was elected to be the secretary of commune cell party in 1992, I did my best to devote the Party and people”.

The member Luu Minh Hoat

    With the thought of living both “fine life and good faith”, the member Luu Minh Hoat, a catholic, head of Phu Ly commune veteran branch said: “I joined the armed force in April 1968 when the war was most violent then I struggled in E40-F320 unit which was named “the marine hit” of the army. I also joined the two great operations of Road no.9-South Laos and Ho Chi Minh. I retired in June, 1979 due to the strength loss policy. Succeeding the heroic traditions, in daily life I always follow the Party’s policies as a model for descendants. I also frankly criticize and contribute to settling local issues. As a catholic, I wish war victim families in Vietnam a firm and happy life”.

   Mr. Thai Van Ri, vice chairman of Vinh Cuu district party committee said about these people: “Returning form the war for national liberation, the veterans continue to bring into play the uncle Ho’s soldier’s quality, contribute to propagating the State legal policies, epically one involved in ethnics and religions and encourage people to obey seriously.

   Best of all, they are setting typical examples in laboring for all of citizens. In order to commending the ethnic and religious veterans with well-obeyed policy achievements and considerable contribution to the association building and to society as well,  the executive committee of Vinh Cuu district veterans association held a get-together for them on August 19.
