Uncle Ho’s imprints at the Air Defense - Air Force Service

The well-furnished house displays a 1.27-m statue of President Ho Chi Minh and various images and documentaries of President Ho Chi Minh captured when he visited the service.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc visited the ADAF Service on April 29 and offered incense at the memorial house. In the house’s memorial book, he wrote that he hoped troops of the ADAF Service will continue to promote the glorious tradition of the service and build a revolutionary, regular, elite, and gradually modern unit, deserving the trust of the Party, State, and people and the special attention of Uncle Ho.

Colonel Vu Danh Cuong, Director of the Museum of the ADAF Service said that the exhibits at the memorial house aim to mark President Ho Chi Minh's visits to the unit. One of many artifacts on display at the museum is a helmet that Uncle Ho wore when he visited the artillery tunnel of Squadron 6, Company 1, Regiment 234 on July 19, 1975 at Bach Mai Airport.

Along with each victory and important event of the air defense and air force troops, Uncle Ho always sent letters, flowers, and congratulations to them. These were extremely valuable rewards to encourage troops to overcome hardships to fulfill all assigned missions.
