Ben Tre's national contributors at the meeting
Ben Tre is the “homeland of uprisings” with brave soldiers and people who courageously fought the US invaders and their Saigon henchmen with only rudimentary weapons such as bamboo and wooden sticks. The troops and people of Ben Tre province fought tenaciously and creatively and earned resounding feats-of-arms, deserving the golden words “bravery, spirit of uprising, victory over US troops, annihilation of Saigon troops.” With great feats-of-arms in the resistance war, Ben Tre province was awarded with the title “Hero of the People’s Armed Forces.”
Speaking at the meeting, representatives of the MND and the General Department of Politics (GDP) expressed pleasure and warmly congratulated the great achievements recorded by the Party Committee, authorities and people of Ben Tre province recently as well as deep gratitude to the people of Ben Tre province for their support for the army during the resistance war.
On behalf of the leaders of the MND and the GDP, Senior Colonel Nguyen Xuan Yem, Deputy Head of the Department of Policy under the GDP, presented MND’s gifts to the national contributors.
