Giving gifts to people in flood-affected areas

Full of love

The rain in Da Nang has not stopped yet, but from the 351st Radar Regiment, the car carrying the working delegation led by Colonel Nguyen Huu Hung, Political Commissar of the Regiment, started to depart, carrying out a special trip: Authorized by the Chief of the Navy Command and the Party Committee, the Navy Region 3 Command "up" the pass, carrying hundreds of gifts to share love, handing them directly to the people of Hue city heavily affected by the flood.

In Phong Dinh, Phong Quang, Phong Dien wards, when walking to visit, encourage, and give gifts to families who have lost lives and suffered heavy property damage, the flooded rice fields and muddy roads could not slow down the soldiers' steps. "The danger of the flood has passed, but the loss and pain of the people are still there. Soldiers in general, and naval soldiers in particular, are ready to share with their compatriots - their own homeland" - Colonel Nguyen Huu Hung expressed.

During the flood, at Ru Hop residential group, Phong Dinh ward, Mr. PBX (70 years old), a veteran, unfortunately met with an accident. The haggard face of Mrs. Tran Thi Nguyet, the wife who had just lost her husband, was filled with tears of pain and emotion at the affection of the navy soldiers whom they had never met, but were as close as relatives. They rolled up their sleeves to help the family take care of part of the funeral for the deceased. Colonel Nguyen Huu Hung shared: Mr. X. was also a navy soldier before, a generation of his father. They devoted their wholehearted love of the military and the people, and comradeship to the family and the deceased.

The muddy ground did not slow down the steps to reach the people.

When the working group of Radar Regiment 351, Naval Region 3 departed from Da Nang city to the flood victims in Hue city, the officers and soldiers of Radar Station 3511 (belonging to Radar Regiment 351, stationed in Phong Quang ward, Hue city) also received orders, mobilized forces and means to help the locality and people of Phong Dinh, Phong Quang, Phong Dien... overcome the consequences when the flood water had just receded.

These days, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Ngoc Thach, Political Commissar of Radar Station 3511, has been commanding the unit's officers and soldiers, like a shuttle at schools, along with teachers and organizations, to clean up hundreds of cubic meters of mud and garbage; to clean and sanitize hundreds of tables, chairs, and teaching equipment, so that students can return to class soon. In Phong Phu ward, soldiers of Radar Regiment 351, Naval Region 3 coordinated to clean up, tidy up the house, and rearrange the belongings for Heroic Vietnamese Mother Nguyen Thi Guong, with the love and responsibility of children, replacing the son of the mother who sacrificed for the Fatherland.

Shoulder to shoulder with the locals

Mr. Nguyen Ba Lanh, Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Phong Dien Ward, was moved: In the midst of the difficulties, when the water had just receded, the navy soldiers were present, standing shoulder to shoulder with the locality and the people. In the midst of the muddy scene, the soldiers worked together to persistently scoop up each bucket of mud, rebuild each board, clean each set of tables and chairs...; coordinated with the government and charity groups to promptly give people urgent, essential gifts after the flood, showing the image of "Uncle Ho's soldiers" who are friendly, close, and devoted to the people, making people trust and love them.

That trust and love has been built by you with solid companionship. In 2023 and 2025, officers and soldiers of Radar Station 3511, Radar Regiment 351 are one of the core forces that promptly put out the fire in Phong Quang ward, helping people preserve 6 hectares of production forest; successfully put out the fire, creating a fire-fighting corridor, protecting 140 hectares of protective forest.

People always remember the image of the naval troops of Radar Station 3511, Radar Regiment 351, Naval Region 3 who responded promptly, saved 4 fishermen (Hai Dong residential group, Phong Hai ward) on the fishing boat of Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung, and brought them safely to shore when the boat capsized at sea. Or when the fishing boat of Mr. Mai Van Truyen (Hai Dong residential group, Phong Quang ward) sank, they "shouldered" to successfully rescue, contributing to ensuring the property and lives of the fishermen. Many fishermen in Hue city, while going out to sea to fish, encountered an accident at sea, were also rescued by the naval troops of Region 3.

“Helping the people, especially in times of hardship and natural disasters, is a duty and also an order from the heart of a soldier. Each gift and each practical action for the people of Hue city, as well as the people of the Central region, after today's floods, contains the heart, affection, responsibility and love of naval officers and soldiers sent to the home front” - Colonel Nguyen Huu Hung shared.
