The house, located in Chanh Hoi hamlet, Ngo May commune, belongs to the family of To Thi Sua and has been constructed by officers and soldiers of Engineering Brigade 7 under Army Corps 34 since December 3. The house has a total floor area of 55 square meters, with a total cost of VND 130 million, of which the State provided VND 60 million. The remaining amount was contributed by the family, while Engineering Brigade 7 fully supported the labor costs.
Colonel Le Hong Thach, Deputy Political Commissar of Engineering Brigade 7, said that Sua is a person with meritorious service to the revolution. The 90-year old woman lives with a son who has been congenitally mute, and the family’s circumstances are extremely difficult. Therefore, during the construction process, officers and soldiers of Engineering Brigade 7 strictly implemented the principle of being “the fastest, the most economical, and the most effective” so that Sua and her son could soon have a house and stabilize their lives.
