Like many other military families, the thing that worries Lieutenant Colonel Do Anh Tuan and his wife Lieutenant Colonel Pham Thi Hoa the most is taking care of and raising their children during the intense training period at the end of August, a time close to the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day, September 2.

“We have to start our day at 4am to prepare for each flight. My wife also trains at a high intensity, so we have very little time for our family. Fortunately, our two children are independent, well-behaved and have the support of their grandparents and teammates, so we can confidently carry out our missions,” Lieutenant Colonel Do Anh Tuan shared.  

During his duties, Mr. Tuan was often assigned to be in charge of and guide reporters on the plane. For him, every time he flew over the public housing area and the Air Defense - Air Force Academy - where his family lives and has many memories, or when he flew over the training area of ​​the ground formations, where his wife practiced... were special memories. "Although it was very close but could not be touched, I felt very happy and often took pictures of these beautiful moments to keep and share with my wife after each training session," he emotionally recounted.

If everyone knows how to love, share, respect each other and spread good things, the family will always be happy, the organization will be strong, and society will be better.”

Looking forward to the national festival, reliving the heroic spirit of the August Revolution 80 years ago and the National Day September 2, Mr. Tuan shared: “I feel extremely moved and proud when thinking about the verses of author Nguyen Viet Chien: He expressed his belief that: Every Vietnamese person loves the country in his own way, but most importantly, our nation loves peace , we remember and cherish the contributions and sacrifices of many generations of fathers and brothers who have fallen in exchange for peace, independence and freedom for our descendants today. Having a prosperous and happy life is not easy, so we must always unite and be of one mind to build a strong Vietnam, standing shoulder to shoulder with the countries of the five continents as Uncle Ho advised!
