After strenuous training sessions, the young soldiers, along with female members and youth union members, immersed themselves in lively games. Laughter and melodious songs dispelled fatigue, providing them with renewed motivation to continue their training. Every handshake and word of encouragement became a great source of moral support, strengthening the new recruits' confidence and fostering a greater love for military life.

The bustling atmosphere extended not only to the training ground but also to the kitchen of the 3rd Battalion. Here, the skillful hands of the women's association members and youth union members busied themselves picking vegetables, preparing fish, slicing meat... Everyone strived to prepare a thoughtful and nutritious meal for hundreds of officers and soldiers.

The meal was intimate, friendly, and filled with the warmth of camaraderie among comrades.
Women members of Brigade 80 joined hands to cook a "community meal" to donate to young soldiers.

Sharing her thoughts on this meaningful activity, Major Tran Tra Huyen Trang, President of the Women's Association of the 80th Signal Brigade, expressed: "This is a regular activity of the Women's Association and the Youth Union aimed at further motivating the soldiers. We always try to select the freshest and most delicious food, preparing attractive and nutritious dishes so that the soldiers can have a delicious and satisfying meal, just like at home. Seeing our comrades eat well and have enough energy for training makes us happy!"

That meal was even more special with the presence of Lieutenant Colonel Hoang Dinh Thang, the Brigade Commander. He sat around the table, raising a bowl of hot rice, and offering words of encouragement that seemed to give strength to the young soldiers.

Soldier Le Quang Chuong, Squad 9, Platoon 22, Battalion 3, from Trieu Trung village, Trieu Phong district, Quang Tri province , couldn't hide his emotion when mentioning this special meal. Hundreds of kilometers away from home, receiving the care and attention from his comrades, from the older brothers and sisters in the unit, Chuong shared emotionally: "Sitting at this table, I truly feel like I'm at home. The meal is not only delicious but also unusually warm. I understand that this place is not just a unit, but also a big family."

More than just a meal, the "Community Meal" is a symbol of solidarity, sharing, and family warmth within the military environment. It also serves as a source of moral support, directly contributing to improved training quality, ensuring each soldier remains steadfast and ready to undertake and successfully complete any assigned task.
