PANO – Twin brothers Vu Trung Thanh and Vu Thanh Trung from Ngo Quyen district, Hai Phong city, were enlisted to Platoon 12, Company 7, Battalion 5 (Regiment 8, Division 395, Military Zone 3).

The two brothers were born into a poor family. When they were five year olds, their mother left home to do business in other place and never came back. At the beginning of 2010, while they are 10th graders in a high school, their father unfortunately passed away. Thus, their half-sister on father’s side had to feed them. At the first enlistment drive of 2014, both of them wrote petitions  to join the army.

Seeing off the two brothers, none of the family members could hold back their tears. However, they encouraged themselves to well implement the military regulations and fulfill the national service to contribute to the army and to be deserved their sister’s expectations.
