Saying thanks to the border guards for their support in overcoming aftermaths of the recent disaster, Nguyen Thi Lieu from Hamlet 1, Khanh Hoi commune, a recipient of the “warm border house,” promised to continue to develop household economy, observe and encourage other villagers to enforce the Party’s guidelines and the State’s policies and laws as well as accompany Khanh Hoi Border Post in the fight against crimes.

Although hardships remain, “green badge” soldiers of Khanh Hoi Border Post always keep and promote the good virtues of Uncle Ho’s soldiers with smallest good deeds and stay side-by-side with local people in the most difficult moments.

The force will continue working with local forces to strengthen patrols along the borderline to deal with any contingencies in a timely manner to ensure a peaceful life for local people. In addition, it will encourage local people to realize the Party and State’s policies, locality’s regulations, and do social security work to deserve to be a strong fulcrum for border people, stressed Lt.
