Leaders of Hoa An and Nguyen Hue communes expressed sincere thanks to the People’s Army Newspaper for its timely care and assistance, which not only helps ease local hardships, but also demonstrates the spirit of Uncle Ho’s soldiers always standing side by side with the people in all circumstances. The gifts serve as both material and spiritual encouragement, empowering local people to overcome difficulties and gradually recover from natural disasters.
