Who is the Westerner who gave water to the soldiers preparing for the April 30 parade?

Mr. Tim and Ms. Eley Nhung said that because their restaurant LuLi's Kitchen is next to the route where soldiers practice for the April 30 parade, they have prepared dozens of bottles of ginseng water to give away. Although they cannot give it all to everyone, they hope that the bottles of ginseng water will somehow give the forces more energy to prepare for the April 30 parade.

Accordingly, the couple gave away ginseng water in the area near Pasteur Street, District 1 when it was dark. "The small act of my husband and I is like a heartfelt thank you to those who are silently protecting our peaceful life every day as well as working hard to practice and ensure security for the event of 50 years of national reunification," Tim's wife added.

Tim said that when he personally handed the small bottles of ginseng water to the soldiers, then saw their bright eyes, sincere smiles and emotional thanks, he and his wife were both happy and warm-hearted. Some soldiers were shy and did not dare to accept, some asked where he was from and then nodded slightly in thanks… Those images are deeply imprinted in the memories of Tim and Eley Nhung.
