Conference scene
According to witnesses, from the first days of joining the army until the entire fighting process, comrade Nguyen Cong Meo always upheld the spirit of bravery and courage. He and his unit participated in more than 40 large and small battles when he was fighting at Battalion 16 of Tay Ninh province and later Battalion 16, Division 2, Long An province. With his intelligence, decisiveness and unyielding offensive spirit, comrade Meo made an important contribution to many victories of the unit.
In particular, during the Tet Offensive and Uprising in 1968, when he held the position of Deputy Political Commissar of Company 1 - the main attacking company of Battalion 16, comrade Nguyen Cong Meo led the unit to fight extremely bravely, destroying many enemy forces and war vehicles of the US - puppet army. The battle was fierce, many comrades were sacrificed or injured. In that difficult moment, comrade Meo and some remaining soldiers continued to charge forward, holding the position, fighting until the last bullet.
Polite witnesses are invited to attend the conference.
The image of martyr Nguyen Cong Meo standing straight, his hand tightly gripping the gun, pointing the muzzle towards the enemy in the last moment, making the enemy terrified and having to raise their hands in surrender, has become a shining symbol of the courage and spirit of the Southern liberation army soldiers. That image is also the prototype that many journalists and poets mentioned when writing the famous poem "Vietnam's Posture".
The contributions and achievements of comrade Meo and the collective of Battalion 16, Division 2 have contributed to the glorious tradition of the unit - being awarded the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces by the State in 2013. With his exceptionally outstanding combat achievements, bravery, intelligence and heroic sacrifice in the position of attacking the enemy, comrade Nguyen Cong Meo deserves to be posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces during the resistance war period.
Martyr Nguyen Cong Meo, who held the positions of Corporal, Sergeant, Senior Sergeant; Platoon Leader; Deputy Squad Leader, Squad Leader; Deputy Platoon Leader, Platoon Leader; Deputy Political Commissar of Company 1, Battalion 16, Division 2, Long An Province (now Tay Ninh Province), is a shining example of patriotism and steadfast fighting spirit.
