Deputy Political Commissar of Regiment 141 Lieutenant Colonel Truong Duc Hieu said that fully aware that building new-style rural area is responsibility of each troop, the regiment annually organizes two field trips to conduct mass mobilization activities to help localities complete the building of new-style rural areas. Before each trip, the unit conducts survey of local situations and develops detailed plans so as to ensure its effectiveness, said Col. Hieu.

Mr. Long Van Phinh in Khuoi Khao hamlet must be the person who deeply feels troops’ sentiment. Since his house is halfway up a mountain, Mr. Phinh had to walk on a high slope. In rainy days, the road was slippery and dangerous. Learning about Mr. Phinh’s difficult situation, Regiment 141 decided to build a 50m-long concrete path, connecting his house and rural road.
Deputy Chairman of the People’s Committee of Chi Lang district Vi Quang Trung evaluated that the practical and significant activities of Regiment 141 have contributed to consolidating the relationship between the unit and local party committees, authorities, and people and beautifying the image of Uncle Ho’s soldiers in the people’s heart. They have also helped localities overcome difficulties to promote socio-economic and cultural development and new-style rural area building and build strong political basis.
