According to Deputy Political Chief of Military Region 7 Senior Colonel Nguyen Cong Anh, the program is expected to contribute to the local leadership’s efforts in taking care of local people amid the COVID-19 pandemic, thus strengthening the military-civilian relationship and enriching the tradition of Uncle Ho’s soldiers.
Over the past time, in response to the guidelines of Military Region 7’s Party Committee and Command, its units and agencies have organized various activities to support local residents in need during the pandemic. Various models, including “Rice ATMs,” “Zero-VND Stalls,” “Gifts of Sentiment,” and “Zero-VND Markets”, were launched and have greatly contributed to taking care of local people and encouraging frontline forces in the pandemic fight.
