| Representatives of Nam Dinh province leaders spoke at the meeting. |
The Prime Minister was particularly happy, moved and excited to see that all of you were very healthy, optimistic, loved life and had many positive contributions to the community and society; clearly stating that our country had to go through fierce and fierce wars to gain national independence, unify the country and protect the borders of the Fatherland. The Prime Minister clearly stated that the Party, the State, authorities at all levels and the people always have noble feelings, respect and share with those who have contributed to the revolution, families of war invalids, martyrs and sick soldiers. This demonstrates the morality of our nation "When drinking water, remember its source". During those difficult years, with the spirit of "Die for the Fatherland, live for the Fatherland", "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom", generations of young volunteers went to the battlefield, leaving behind old mothers, young wives and young children in the rear. Many never returned, their flesh and blood were mixed with the mountains and rivers. Some people were lucky enough to return home but left part of their bodies and blood on the battlefield or were affected by Agent Orange, with lasting effects. There are many children born in
peace but have suffered many disadvantages, carrying within them the heavy consequences of war that nothing can compensate for. Today, we live in
peace , freedom, prosperity, and happiness thanks to the great sacrifices of generations of previous fathers and brothers, of millions of excellent children who have devoted their intelligence, efforts, blood, and heroic sacrifices for the noble revolutionary cause of the nation and country. We must take care of this cause with a high sense of responsibility, demonstrating the national morality of "When drinking water, remember its source", "When eating fruit, remember the person who planted the tree".

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh
Over the past 76 years, our Party and State have always paid special attention, cared for and had many preferential policies for war invalids, martyrs' relatives, families of policy beneficiaries, and people with meritorious services to the revolution, and considered this an important, regular and increasingly perfect political task. The lives of people with meritorious services and their families have been constantly improved in terms of material and spiritual aspects to implement the motto "leaving no one behind". The movement "All people take care of families of war invalids, martyrs and people with meritorious services to the revolution", the "Repaying gratitude" fund, "Comradely affection"... have been increasingly developed, enthusiastically responded to by the majority of people with a sense of responsibility and high social awareness. The construction, upgrading and restoration of martyrs' graves, martyrs' cemeteries, and works honoring martyrs have received investment attention; The work of searching, gathering, and identifying the remains of martyrs has been actively and effectively implemented, warming the souls of the deceased heroes and contributing to reducing the pain of those who remain. Many uncles and aunts have made efforts to overcome pain and loss, overcome illness, rise up in life, set an example in work, labor, and study; been active, creative, enriching their families and society, helping comrades, teammates, and families with meritorious services who are still facing difficulties. In particular, there are veterans and seriously wounded soldiers who have set a shining example in the fight against poverty and backwardness, rising up to become rich, creating jobs for thousands of workers, and actively contributing to building their homeland and country. These are truly shining examples of determination and faith, as beloved Uncle Ho once advised, "wounded soldiers are disabled but not useless", at the same time inspiring, motivating, and encouraging the gratitude movement so that our society can become better and better. On behalf of the Party and State leaders, the Prime Minister highly appreciated the results achieved by the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, all levels and sectors in implementing policies for people with revolutionary contributions and respected the successes achieved by veterans across the country, including wounded soldiers and people with revolutionary contributions from Nam Dinh province. The Prime Minister emphasized that during the fierce war, upholding revolutionary heroism, tens of thousands of outstanding sons of Nam Dinh enthusiastically joined the army to save the country; tens of thousands of people joined the frontline laborers, youth volunteers serving in all battlefields, together with the army and people of the whole country, writing glorious pages of history for the nation. After listening to the report, the Prime Minister was very moved to know that the whole Nam Dinh province has more than 36 thousand martyrs, more than 41 thousand wounded and sick soldiers, nearly 3 thousand Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, more than 10 thousand resistance fighters infected with toxic chemicals... In particular, the Prime Minister highly appreciated the examples of will, determination and effort such as Mr. Hoang Xuan Phuong (wounded soldier, 35%) - Deputy of the Propaganda Department of the Hai Tay Commune Party Committee, who has been commended for many consecutive years for his outstanding achievements; Mr. Nguyen Thanh Chau (wounded soldier, 45%) is a good
businessman , and was the owner of a typical livestock model in Hai Xuan Commune; Mr. Nguyen Duc Lien (wounded soldier, 81%) is always exemplary, making positive contributions to his place of residence... These are exemplary wounded and sick party members; always implementing well the policies and laws of the Party and the State; being active in local movements; overcoming difficulties to excel in labor, production and doing good
business . On this occasion, the Prime Minister suggested that Nam Dinh should have an educational program for the younger generation to learn from and follow the example of the previous generation; inspiring the younger generation to visualize the sacrifices, hardships, patriotism, optimism, love of life, and bravery of those who have contributed to the revolution. The Prime Minister pointed out that although the Party, State and people always care and look after them with respect, deep gratitude and the highest responsibility, the lives of a number of wounded soldiers, relatives of martyrs, and families of those who have contributed to the revolution are still difficult.
All levels, sectors and localities, including Nam Dinh province, continue to promote the tradition of “When drinking water, remember its source”. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh

Inheriting and promoting the achieved results, continuing to perfect and well implement policies and laws for people with meritorious services, ensuring that people with meritorious services and their families have a living standard of average or higher in the locality with the spirit that no person with meritorious services is not entitled to preferential policies. Continuing to research and implement the increase of social allowances and preferential allowances appropriately; increasing the attraction of social resources, promoting the movement of “repaying gratitude”; contributing to compensating for the disadvantages of people with meritorious services and their families with meritorious services to the revolution. The Prime Minister hopes that the meritorious people of Nam Dinh province will continue to actively propagate and mobilize people to understand and effectively implement the policies of the Party and State in their residential areas; actively participate in local movements;
educate the younger generation about patriotism; and always be shining examples, contributing to the cause of building and defending the Fatherland, developing a strong and prosperous country.

The soldiers are truly worthy of the Fatherland and the Fatherland will never forget such beloved children". With deep responsibility and affection, the Government and the Prime Minister will continue to care for and look after the material and spiritual life of the meritorious people so that they become increasingly full and better.
