Proud of the national flag in the border area

In the midst of the historic April days, in the southwestern border region of the Fatherland, the image of red flags with yellow stars fluttering in the early morning sun not only makes people's hearts flutter, but also kindles in the hearts of every citizen here pride, patriotism and a sense of responsibility to preserve every inch of their homeland.

Officers and soldiers of My Quy Tay Border Guard Station presented flags to representatives of the people.

On the afternoon of April 25, My Quy Tay Border Guard Station organized a ceremony to present 100 national flags to the Management Board of Hamlet 6, My Quy Dong Commune, Duc Hue District, Long An Province.

This meaningful activity was carried out on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025) and to celebrate International Labor Day (May 1).

This is not only a symbolic activity, but also a way for border guards to express their feelings, gratitude and responsibility towards the people in the border areas - the "living milestones" of the Fatherland.

In a solemn, warm and affectionate atmosphere, Mr. Nguyen Van Ngua, Head of Hamlet 6, was moved to represent the people to receive the new flags.

Mr. Ngu shared: “We are very grateful for the affection and care of the border guards. The national flag is always the pride of the people here. Every time we see the flag flying in front of our house, we feel more confident and motivated to continue working and building our homeland.”

Hanging the national flag on holidays and Tet is a concern of cadres, soldiers and people.

Not stopping at giving gifts, the Youth Union of My Quy Tay Border Guard Station also coordinated with the Management Board of Hamlet 6 to visit each household, supporting people to hang the flag, ensuring that the flag is placed in the most solemn, upright and sustainable place.

On every simple roof, at every family gate, the red color of the national flag appears brightly in the vast border sky, like an irreplaceable affirmation of sacred sovereignty .

The red flag with yellow star, the immortal symbol of the Vietnamese people, is not only an object, but also the embodiment of history, blood, loyalty and the desire for peace .

Lieutenant Colonel Pham Thanh Trung - Head of My Quy Tay Border Guard Station, shared: "The activity of giving national flags to people in border areas to hang on holidays and Tet has been maintained by the unit over the past years. On the occasion of the country's special event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification, the unit continues to give away national flags."

“Looking at the red flag with yellow star fluttering in the border area, everyone feels excited, inspired and motivated. As border guards, we are always proud to live and protect the front line of the Fatherland. We vow to always strive to study, strive and train to excellently complete the tasks entrusted to us by the Party, State and People,” said Lieutenant Colonel Pham Thanh Trung.

Presenting flags on holidays and Tet has been carried out by My Quy Tay Border Guard Station in recent years.

In areas far from urban centers, the lives of people on the border are still full of difficulties. However, the companionship of border guards with specific tasks such as handing out flags, supporting livelihoods, providing medical examinations, and giving gifts has alleviated those hardships.

The relationship between the army and the people at the border is increasingly close and intertwined, like a silent source that nurtures patriotism and national pride in each citizen.

The national flag fluttering in the wind also has the meaning of educating patriotism.

The national flag awarding program carried out by My Quy Tay Border Guard Station not only contributes to building a civilized lifestyle and a beautiful image for the new rural area, but is also a vivid visual educational activity.

“The flags hung up are also a gentle reminder for today's youth to live responsibly towards the country and be grateful to previous generations who fought and sacrificed to regain independence and freedom for the Vietnamese people,” said union member Nguyen Van Thanh, residing in My Quy Tay commune.

Amidst the red roads stained with time, the image of the bright red flags in the border sunlight has made the land at the end of the Fatherland warmer and more proud.

“And every time we look up at that flag, the people of the border remind each other: No matter where we are, what we do, or what circumstances we live in, we are all a part of the country, of the nation, together preserving, building and nurturing a bright future for Vietnam” - looking at the national flag fluttering in front of his house, Mr. Nguyen Van Ngua emotionally confided./.
