Following weeks of tireless labor in the mountainous Khe Tre commune, the image of “Uncle Ho’s soldiers” became deeply cherished by local residents. In the wake of historic flooding that devastated houses, the military’s presence provided both practical aid and moral encouragement, helping the community rebuild with renewed hope.
Throughout the month-long campaign, soldiers from the Hue Municipal Military Command demonstrated unwavering dedication. Working through harsh weather and long hours, their commitment fostered a profound sense of trust with local families. Nguyen Thi Khuyen, a resident of Khe Tre, expressed heartfelt gratitude, noting that the soldiers worked without regard for rest or difficult conditions. For her and many others, their departure left a lasting impression of affection and remembrance.
Guided by the principle of serving the people, the officers devoted their full efforts to the mission. Their perseverance resulted in sturdy new homes and a strengthened bond between the military and the public. For Corporal Hoang Ngoc Anh of Battalion 1, Regiment 6, the campaign was a career highlight. Utilizing his construction skills, he viewed every brick laid as an expression of care for those displaced by disaster.
Senior Captain Mai Cao Nguyen, Deputy Head of Battalion 1, emphasized that the unit mobilized with maximum determination, working day and night shifts to complete construction ahead of schedule. Recognizing “Quang Trung Campaign” as a key political mission, the municipal command prioritized personnel with technical expertise to race against time, ensuring families could move into their new homes as quickly as possible.
