Officers and soldiers of the 32nd Reconnaissance Battalion join hands to prepare for Tet (Lunar New Year).

For many young soldiers, this is their first time celebrating Tet away from home. The longing for family is still present, but being reunited with comrades and fellow soldiers makes each person feel warmth and love, and they see their unit as their second home, ready to accept and successfully complete any assigned task.

Corporal Lam Vu Nhat, 2nd Squad, 1st Company, shared: “Being far from home makes me miss my parents a lot, but as a soldier, duty always comes first. We always uphold a high sense of responsibility, strictly carry out combat readiness duties, and are determined to successfully complete the assigned tasks.”

The Tet holiday atmosphere is vibrant at the 32nd Reconnaissance Battalion.

Before, during, and after Tet (Lunar New Year), the 32nd Reconnaissance Battalion strictly maintained and implemented all regulations and procedures, with the spirit of "personnel ready, weapons and equipment ready, ready to go at a moment's notice, ready to arrive, ready to win at any battle." This proactive and meticulous approach to each task not only demonstrated discipline but also represented silent preparation to ensure peace and security for the people during the Tet holiday.

Major Nguyen Xuan Dat, Political Officer of the Battalion, said: “The Party Committee and the unit's command always pay close attention to the material and spiritual lives of the soldiers; ensuring that all entitlements are well provided so that officers and soldiers can celebrate Tet fully and warmly. Tet at the unit is not just about sticky rice cakes and apricot blossoms, but also about camaraderie and fellowship, so that the soldiers always have their weapons ready and are prepared to undertake any mission.”

While enjoying the Lunar New Year festivities, the soldiers did not forget their duties; they maintained a high level of vigilance and were ready for combat during the peak Tet holiday period.

While singing songs about soldiers with his comrades, Sergeant Trinh Ngoc Cuong of Company 1 happily said: "Besides cultural and artistic exchanges with lively songs, the unit also organizes many fun activities such as tug-of-war, volleyball competitions, and folk games, creating a vibrant and warm Tet atmosphere in the unit, helping us to ease our homesickness."

Amidst the cheerful laughter of the young soldiers, the familiar, urgent alarm bell rang out. Without a word, the soldiers quickly moved in various directions, preparing their equipment and supplies for their mission. Spring at the 32nd Reconnaissance Battalion was like that—not noisy, but warm and meaningful. In the burgeoning spring, the soldiers silently carried out their duty of guarding peace, carrying the faith and responsibility of a soldier, so that the people's spring could be complete and joyful.
