Military Region 5’s troops celebrate Tet with local people

This year, apart from artistic performances, the organizing panel held other interesting activities, including a singing contest, a group dance, Chung cake (square glutinous rice cake) wrapping competition, five-fruit tray arrangement, and folk games. Those activities aimed to strengthen the solidarity between troops and people.

Especially, during the program, agencies and units handed hundreds of gift packages to families of wounded soldiers, martyrs, and national contributors, needy households, and poor students with good academic results.

Below are photos of activities in the “Spring of unity in Military Region 5, Tet of military-civilian solidarity” program.
