With the tradition of "Drinking water, remembering the source" continued and developed through each generation, over the years the armed forces of Quang Ninh have always paid attention to caring for and repaying the contributions of those who came before, contributing to improving the material and spiritual lives of those who have rendered meritorious services to the revolution.
Determined to ensure that no policy beneficiary suffers disadvantages in life, the Provincial Military Command has focused on effectively resolving the entitlements for those who have rendered meritorious service to the revolution over the years. Specifically, the Provincial Military Command has coordinated with relevant departments, agencies, and localities to direct and guide agencies and units to effectively implement all entitlements and policies for those who participated in the resistance war against France and the US, the war to protect the Fatherland, and international missions, in accordance with Decisions No. 290, 142, 62, and 49 of the Prime Minister . They have organized the review, investigation, and compilation of lists of eligible individuals in the province to ensure timely, fair, transparent, and accurate payment of entitlements, ensuring that no policy beneficiary is disadvantaged.
The Provincial Military Command also directed and guided agencies and units to implement the Ordinance on Preferential Treatment for People with Meritorious Contributions to the Revolution. This included focusing on processing applications for recognition as martyrs; confirming wounded and sick soldiers according to Government Decree No. 131 and Ministry of National Defense Circular No. 55 ; researching and verifying files related to Agent Orange exposure; and persuading, explaining, and revoking injury certificates and decisions granting injury certificates and benefits for ineligible individuals, thereby gaining high consensus from local authorities and those whose documents needed to be revoked. In 2024 alone, the unit completed the processing of injury benefits for 8 cases, corrected information in martyr records for 8 cases, and confirmed information for 15 martyrs.
In addition, the Provincial Military Command also coordinated with and advised the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee to allocate local budget funds to visit and present gifts to thousands of policy beneficiaries, meritorious individuals, revolutionary veterans from various periods, and Vietnamese Heroic Mothers... In 2024, the Provincial Military Command and its agencies and units allocated funds to visit and present gifts to policy beneficiaries and meritorious individuals with a total amount of 617 million VND; visited and presented gifts to 147 wounded soldiers, veterans, and former soldiers who participated in the Dien Bien Phu Campaign with an amount of nearly 780 million VND; visited and presented gifts to 341 policy beneficiaries with an amount of over 270 million VND; and transferred 5 gifts from the President, 5 gifts from the Ministry of National Defense, 5 gifts from the 3rd Military Region Command, and 1 gift from the province to wounded soldiers and children of martyrs working at the Provincial Military Command...
The Provincial Military Command also advised and proposed to the Party Committee, the Command of Military Region 3, the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial People's Council, and the Provincial People's Committee, and coordinated with local Party committees and authorities to organize the construction of houses of gratitude and houses for comrades; visited and presented gifts to policy beneficiary families, families of officers and soldiers working in the Truong Sa archipelago, the DK1 platform, difficult areas, and centers for the care of wounded and sick soldiers... Thereby contributing to ensuring good social welfare and serving the socio-economic development of the locality; and was highly appreciated by local Party committees, authorities and people.
In 2024, the provincial armed forces contributed nearly 460 million VND to the "Gratitude and Repayment" fund, remitting it to higher authorities as per regulations. Simultaneously, the provincial armed forces supported the construction of 10 houses of gratitude for disadvantaged families of policy beneficiaries, with a total cost of over 800 million VND; donated 9 savings accounts to policy beneficiaries with a total value of 90 million VND; provided 55 health insurance cards to relatives and caregivers of Agent Orange victims; and provided free medical consultations, examinations, and medication to 556 policy beneficiaries...
Lieutenant Colonel Hoang Van Thuyet, Deputy Political Commissar of the Provincial Military Command, affirmed: Paying attention to and caring for the welfare and policies for Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, wounded soldiers, sick soldiers, and those who have rendered meritorious services to the revolution is a major policy of the Party and State, regularly implemented by the provincial armed forces. The gratitude activities of the officers and soldiers of the provincial armed forces have partly compensated for the great sacrifices and losses of wounded and sick soldiers and families of those who have rendered meritorious services; helping them to have more motivation to rise up in life. Through this, the solidarity between the military and the people is further strengthened; contributing to building a more solid foundation of people's support. In particular, the "Paying gratitude" work is also an effective measure to educate and cultivate the glorious traditions of the nation and the army, so that officers and soldiers can improve their revolutionary qualities and ethics, consolidate their faith, and strive to successfully complete all assigned tasks.
