Ten pairs of twins and brothers in Dong Nai province have volunteered to enlist in the army.

Sharing the same bloodline, 10 pairs of twins and siblings in Dong Nai have enlisted in the army, donning the military uniform. They stand side by side on their journey of training and dedicating their youth to the Fatherland.

These days, the atmosphere in Dong Nai is becoming more lively as young men selected for military service prepare to leave for their enlistment. This year is special because many twins and brothers are enlisting together.

Shared ideals

In Bien Hoa City, twins Hoang The Anh and Hoang Hai Anh (born in 2004, Trang Dai Ward) are eagerly anticipating the start of a new chapter in their lives.

The Anh said that ever since they were children, both brothers dreamed of wearing the green uniform of a soldier. With encouragement from their parents, this year, after studying refrigeration and air conditioning repair, the two brothers volunteered to enlist in the army.

"We aspire to train, challenge ourselves, and contribute our youthful energy to the country," said The Anh.

Hai Anh also excitedly shared that she is very proud to be serving in the military alongside her brother. This is an opportunity for them to bond and support each other throughout the training process.

In Long Khanh City, the Military Service Council also received many applications from young people volunteering to enlist. Notably, two brothers, Vo Anh Vu (born in 2005) and Vo Anh Dung (born in 2006), residing in Bao Vinh Ward, Long Khanh City, both passed the recruitment examination and are eligible for military service.

According to the Military Service Law, one of the two brothers could be granted a temporary deferment. However, driven by patriotism and a desire to contribute, Vu and Dung sought permission from their family and volunteered to fulfill this sacred duty together.

Unable to hide his joy, young Anh Vu said that as soon as he received his conscription order, he quickly arranged his work and prepared himself to leave.

"This is an opportunity for me to train, grow, and contribute my youthful energy to the country," Vu shared.

Sharing the same sentiment as his brother, Anh Dung said he was proud of his decision to volunteer for military service.

"I want to wear the military uniform, train myself, and fulfill my civic duty," Dung expressed.

The family is proud, and the local community trusts them.

Not only the new recruits but also their families and relatives are filled with joy and pride as they witness their children ready to embark on their sacred duty.

Mr. Hoang Hai Phong - the father of The Anh and Hai Anh - said that his family has two sons. After his sons completed their vocational training, he planned for them to join the military service to train themselves. He hoped that his sons would mature and contribute to the cause of protecting the country.

"The family is very proud that both brothers are so enthusiastic. I believe that the military environment will help them become more capable and mature," Mr. Phong expressed.

According to Mr. Nguyen Duy Khanh, Commander of the Military Command of Bao Vinh Ward, the young men of the ward are in good health and ready to enlist in the army.

This year, for the first time, Bao Vinh ward has seen two brothers, Anh Vu and Anh Dung, both volunteer to enlist in the army. Their voluntary spirit has created a positive effect, spreading enthusiasm among local youth.
