Traffic routes in Lien Son commune (Luong Son) were expanded with contributions from veteran members who donated land.
Comrade Le Thanh Thong, Chairman of the Association of War Veterans of Luong Son district, said: The Association of War Veterans of the district currently has more than 6,000 members, operating at 12 Association bases. In recent years, the Association at all levels in the district has actively coordinated with sectors and organizations to promote propaganda and raise awareness of cadres and members about the meaning and purpose of the program to build new rural areas. Replicate and effectively implement the models: "War veteran households with clean houses, beautiful gardens, clean environment", "New rural road sections self-managed by war veterans", "War veterans participating in propaganda and environmental protection". To achieve practical results, the Association of War Veterans of the district launched an emulation movement for war veterans to set good examples and actively implement the program to build new rural areas with the goal of each Association base having at least 1 project or task undertaken by war veterans. Each war veteran member has practical work to well implement the criteria for building new rural areas. In addition, the Association integrates the content of building new rural areas with the movement "Exemplary war veterans", associated with the emulation movements "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style", "All people unite to build a cultural life"...
To contribute to completing criterion No. 9 on housing, every year, the District Veterans Association conducts an investigation and survey of member families with housing difficulties. On that basis, along with actively mobilizing businesses and philanthropists to support, the Association mobilizes cadres and members to contribute 10,000 VND/member/year to raise a fund for solidarity to support members in difficulty in building houses. The "War Veterans' Compassion Fund" model has supported and helped eliminate temporary houses for many War Veterans. In 2024, the Association supported the construction of 2 new houses (30 million VND/house) and the repair of 2 houses (10 million VND/house). In the first 6 months of 2025, the Association supported the construction of 3 new houses and the repair of 1 house for a member family with housing difficulties with a total amount of 100 million VND, drawn from the solidarity fund contributed by War Veterans' members in the district.
In order to improve the lives of cadres and members, contributing to the implementation of criterion No. 10 on income, the district's War Veterans Association at all levels has promoted the emulation movement "War Veterans help each other develop the economy ". The Association has been entrusted by the Social Policy Bank to help over 2,500 members borrow capital with a total outstanding debt of over 107 billion VND. Maintaining capital contributed by members, billions of VND have been lent without interest to develop production and business. Thanks to the support capital and the dynamism and creativity of members, many economic models with high income have been built. Currently, the district has 8 small and medium enterprises, attracting 230 workers; 7 cooperatives, attracting 114 workers; 79 farms, attracting 218 workers; 98 family farms, attracting 318 workers; 192 business households, attracting 602 workers owned by War Veterans.
The district Veterans Association at all levels actively implements criterion No. 17 on the environment such as landscaping, garbage collection, moving livestock barns away from houses, planting shade trees, renovating mixed gardens, building model gardens... Each member is an active factor in promoting environmental protection. Regularly organizes cleaning sessions on village roads and alleys on weekends, plants and takes care of many tree-lined and flower-lined roads... At the same time, mobilize members to donate thousands of square meters of land for roads and cultural houses.
With the motto "Where there is a movement, there is the Veterans Association, where there is the Veterans Association, there are movement activities", with practical and meaningful actions, the movement "War veterans join hands to build new rural areas and civilized urban areas" is truly a highlight, bearing the outstanding mark of the Veterans Association at all levels. In the coming time, the Luong Son District Veterans Association will continue to replicate good models and creative ways of collectives and individual Veterans Association members in building new rural areas. Promote propaganda and mobilize members to participate in socio-economic development programs, poverty reduction, and social security.
