In particular, in supporting his sister unit - Loc Thinh Primary and Secondary School (Loc Thanh commune, Dong Nai province), he and the officers and soldiers of his unit actively participated in building and repairing the school grounds, drainage system, clearing vegetation, and beautifying the school's landscape.
