Nguyen Duc Tho shared that since high school, Tho had determined that when he graduated and was old enough, he would volunteer to join the army. He was even happier when his family supported his plan. Therefore, on the first day of the preliminary examination at the ward, Tho was excited to go to the preliminary examination, unfortunately he was a little underweight.

Youth of Phuong Liet ward participate in preliminary examination.

But this did not diminish the young man's determination to contribute to protecting the Fatherland. With the suggestion of comrade Tran Duc Duong, Commander of the Phuong Liet Ward Military Command, and the consent of his family, Tho brought his luggage to live and work directly with the ward's permanent militia squad to be cared for and trained by the uncles and brothers here.

According to Tho, the military environment is an ideal environment for him to train, study, and help himself become more mature and steadfast. And wearing a military uniform has been his long-standing dream, so he will try his best to make it come true. "When I arrive at the unit, I am determined to train, live, and eat regularly to meet the health standards to join the army," the young man's eyes lit up with determination when he told us so.

Another case is young man Do Dinh Khoi, living at No. 6, Lane 40, Phuong Liet Street (Phuong Liet Ward) who also volunteered to join the army. Meeting Khoi at the preliminary examination, his chubby face and fair skin like a girl's stood out even more against the red flag with yellow star. Although he had volunteered to join the army, Khoi still could not hide his nervousness when he came for the preliminary examination. "I'm just worried that I don't meet the health standards, but my spirit is very strong, I'm ready to join the army!", Khoi shared.

Do Dinh Khoi and his mother talked with comrade Tran Duc Duong, Commander of the Phuong Liet Ward Military Command at the preliminary examination point.

At the recruitment examination point of Phuong Liet ward, not only did the young men come to the recruitment examination with the spirit of being ready to go to defend the Fatherland, we also met many parents who came here to support and encourage their children. Ms. Mai Thi Giang, living on Le Trong Tan street (Phuong Liet ward) said that her son, Vu Ngoc Minh (born in 2003), was working in Da Nang . However, when the call was received, the mother and son immediately bought plane tickets to return to participate in the recruitment examination.

“Our family always encourages our children to go to fulfill their duty to the Fatherland. Because it is both a responsibility and an honor for the family. Recently, watching the parade, seeing the soldiers in uniform, marching solemnly, I also hope that my children will be in that line, it will be an honor,” Giang happily shared.

According to comrade Tran Duc Duong, this year is the first year of implementing the task of selecting and calling citizens to join the army after implementing the two-level local government. Therefore, the unit encountered certain difficulties. However, determining this as a key political task, the Ward Military Command proactively advised the Ward Party Committee and People's Committee to do a good job of preparing, developing plans, and implementing them in accordance with the instructions of the superiors. In particular, promoting propaganda, education, and mobilizing people to strictly comply with the Law on Military Service, clearly understanding their rights, obligations, and responsibilities for the task of protecting the Fatherland.

With the creative approach and determination of the entire political system and the enthusiastic dedication of the capital's youth, in the upcoming military recruitment season, Hanoi will certainly successfully complete the task of selecting and calling citizens to join the army.
