Visiting veteran Nguyen Thai Hoa in Ba Da village, Tan Thanh commune and veteran To Huu Phuc in Chanh Hung village, Hieu Liem commune, General Cuong and leaders of Binh Duong province inquired after their family members. The guests expressed deep gratitude to merit and dedication of families of policy beneficiaries, fallen troops and heroes to national independence and reunification. They also highlighted great efforts of many such families to rise in life and their contribution to local socio-economic development.

Wishing families health and happiness and to be bright cultural examples in localities, General Cuong hoped that the veterans will continue promoting Uncle Ho’s soldiers’ virtue, upholding good traditions in fostering and teaching their children and grandchildren and being bright examples for younger generations to follow.

On the occasion, General Cuong expressed his hope that local party committee and authorities will keep paying attention to and taking care of the spiritual and material life of policy beneficiaries, especially during holidays, including Lunar New Year.

Earlier the same day, General Cuong and his entourage from the Ministry of National Defense and Binh Duong province laid wreath and offered incense to pay tribute to fallen troops and heroes at the memorial stele house in Hieu Liem commune, Bac Tan Uyen district.
