Turning to the people in the flooded areas, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from military units were present to rescue and save people, ready to brave the rain and floods for many days.

For them, the order to carry out the mission at this dangerous time not only comes from superiors, but also urges from the soldier's heart.

Witnessing the devastation after the flood, Corporal Mang Binh (Regiment 143, Division 315) shared: “When I arrived, I felt so sorry for the people. Many families had nothing left, rice, their biggest asset, was now moldy and sprouting green... I can only do my best to help ease the pain of the people.”

At Nguyen Viet Xuan Secondary and High School (Tuy An Tay Commune), mud flooded the classrooms. Literature teacher Vo Thi Minh Ha could not hide her emotion when she saw the young soldiers of Division 2 covered in mud: "The flood rose quickly and unexpectedly, so most of the equipment, tables, chairs, books... were soaked with water. In the past few days, thanks to the army, the difficult tasks have been basically completed. With this enthusiastic help, I think the students will soon return to school in the next few days."
