Responsibility to the meritorious

Help mom live happily and healthily

At 93 years old, Vietnamese Heroic Mother Tran Thi Bay in Binh Minh Commune, Bu Dang District is no longer agile and clear-headed, but when officers and soldiers of Regiment 719 come to visit, talk and encourage her, her face radiates excitement and radiance as if welcoming her own relatives. Those images prove that not only a few times, but officers and soldiers of Regiment 719 have cared for and looked after their mother regularly over a long period of time. Thanks to the dedicated care and attention of the officers and soldiers, not only has the mother's spirit been lifted, but the house, which has suffered much loss and pain due to the war, has also become less sad and warmer every day.

The Party Committee and Commander of Regiment 719 regularly visit and encourage Vietnamese Heroic Mother Tran Thi Bay.

Mr. Tran Van Son, the biological son of Tran Thi Bay, said: Previously living in Phu Quy commune, Cai Lay district, Tien Giang province and since 1997 moving to Bu Dang district, Binh Phuoc province, my mother and her family have received special attention from the leaders of the Party, State, local Party committees and authorities as well as the stationing unit. On important national holidays and New Year's, delegations from the province and district come to visit, encourage and give gifts to my mother. In particular, my mother is taken care of by officers and soldiers of Regiment 719, who regularly come to take care of her, give her gifts and give her regular health check-ups, so she is very happy and excited.

Heroic Vietnamese mother Tran Thi Bay had her husband and eldest son sacrificed in the resistance war against the US to save the country. This was a great loss for her, so in addition to taking care of her until the end of her life, Regiment 719 also built a charity house. Along with encouragement, care, and regular health check-ups, officers and soldiers of Regiment 719, along with local Party committees and authorities, also demonstrated their personal and unit responsibilities towards the souls of heroic martyrs through specific actions. These practical and meaningful actions are not only a noble responsibility but alsoeducate and raise the awareness of officers, soldiers, workers, especially the younger generation, about patriotism and national pride.

Binh Minh Commune Party Secretary Trinh Cong Long said: To ease the loss and pain of mother, on holidays and Tet, the leaders of the province and Bu Dang district all care for and encourage her. In particular, Regiment 719 has taken care of mother and in 2022 built her a house. At the same time, local Party committees and authorities regularly send forces to take care of mother, Regiment 719 sends medical staff to visit and give medicine every month.

Education, raising sense of responsibility for the young generation

Lieutenant Ha Phi Hung, Operations Assistant of the 719th Regiment Staff, said: I am very honored to be in the army and proud of the achievements and feats of the previous generations who shed so much blood so that we can have a peaceful and independent life like today. Therefore, I am always very grateful, remember and have the responsibility to encourage and visit families who have contributed to the revolution and take care of the heroic Vietnamese Mother.

In addition to supporting the heroic Vietnamese mother Tran Thi Bay, Regiment 719 also carries out many projects and tasks to show gratitude and care for families, policy beneficiaries, and people with revolutionary contributions in the area where it is located, as well as building various gratitude funds according to regulations of the Ministry of National Defense and local authorities with a total budget of nearly 200 million VND/year.

Lieutenant Colonel Vu Van Luong, Political Commissar of Regiment 719, said: Caring for and supporting Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, taking care of families with meritorious services, and people with meritorious services in the area where the unit is stationed is not only a noble responsibility but also educates the cadres, employees, and workers of the regiment to always be deeply grateful to the previous generation of fathers and grandfathers, those who have made great contributions to the cause of national liberation and reunification.
