Culture of gratitude

When July comes, in the hearts of every citizen of the Fatherland, sacred emotions surge, respectfully expressing gratitude to the heroic martyrs, wounded soldiers, sick soldiers, and families with meritorious services to the revolution. Phu Tho - the land of origin of the Vietnamese people, is always proud of its steadfast revolutionary tradition, making great contributions to the two great resistance wars of the nation as well as the cause of building and defending the Fatherland.

Vietnamese Heroic Mother Phung Thi My, Vinh Phu commune, Phu Tho province always receives encouragement, attention and care.

“When drinking water, remember its source”, “When eating fruit, remember the person who planted the tree” - the eternal morality of our nation has always been preserved and promoted by the Party Committee, government and people of Phu Tho province, especially in the work of repaying gratitude and showing gratitude to heroic martyrs, war invalids, sick soldiers, and families with meritorious services to the revolution. Towards the commemoration of War Invalids and Martyrs Day on July 27, all localities in the province are bustling with charitable activities, deeply spreading the spirit of gratitude and responsibility towards the generation of fathers and brothers who sacrificed for the Fatherland.

The whole province currently has hundreds of thousands of people who have contributed to the revolution, including more than 39,000 martyrs, more than 27,600 wounded and sick soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people who participated in the resistance war, were exposed to toxic chemicals, and relatives of martyrs... These are testaments to the spirit of patriotism and selfless sacrifice for the independence and freedom of the nation. The blood of heroes, martyrs, wounded and sick soldiers has dyed every inch of the homeland red, contributing to the great victories of our army and people. Therefore, the work of caring for, supporting and showing gratitude to those who have contributed to the revolution has always received special attention from the province.

Over the past years, Phu Tho has fully and promptly implemented preferential policies and regimes for people with meritorious services and families of war invalids and martyrs in accordance with the law. Many families in difficult circumstances have received support for their livelihoods, free medical examination and treatment, and preferential loans for production development. On every occasion of July 27, local people organize many practical activities: visiting and giving gifts to policy beneficiaries, lighting candles in gratitude, offering incense at martyrs' cemeteries... Many organizations, businesses, and kind-hearted individuals actively accompany the government in this work, contributing to spreading charitable deeds and social responsibility in the community.

The province regularly launches the establishment of the "Repaying gratitude" Fund, calling for support from businesses, officials, civil servants, and workers to build and repair gratitude houses, support students and children of families with meritorious services. Strengthen propaganda and resolve backlog of records related to policies for people with meritorious services; fully and promptly pay preferential policies such as monthly allowances, health insurance cards, etc.

The work of renovating and embellishing cemeteries, memorials of heroic martyrs, and historical revolutionary relics in communes, wards, and towns... has always been focused on. This is not only a place to show gratitude but also a "red address" to educate the younger generation about patriotism and revolutionary traditions. Through the programs "Repaying gratitude", "Drinking water, remembering its source" at schools, traditional talk shows, and screenings of historical documentaries... have contributed to nurturing and strongly spreading the spirit of patriotism, gratitude, and responsibility of the younger generation towards their fathers and elders.

All Vietnamese Heroic Mothers are cared for and regularly visited and encouraged materially and spiritually. (In the photo: Vietnamese Heroic Mother Phung Thi My, Vinh Phu commune, Phu Tho province, next to the portrait of her son - martyr Nguyen Cong Tai).

On the occasion of the 78th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day, the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee organized working delegations to visit and present gifts to outstanding policy families and martyrs' cemeteries in several localities across the country. Many schools, agencies, and enterprises organized practical activities: offering incense to commemorate and pay tribute to heroic Vietnamese mothers, and receiving lifelong care for war invalids and seriously ill soldiers...

The spirit of gratitude to those who have contributed is not only a slogan but has become a cultural beauty imbued in life, demonstrating patriotism and responsibility for the history and future of the nation. In particular, the young generation is increasingly demonstrating a pioneering role in preserving and promoting the traditions of the Fatherland, constantly striving to study, work, and build a prosperous homeland to be worthy of the sacrifices of previous generations.

The Party Committee, government and people of all ethnic groups in Phu Tho province have identified taking care of people with meritorious services as a regular task and responsibility of the entire political system. On that basis, we will continue to make efforts and join hands with the whole country to better care for the material and spiritual lives of war invalids, sick soldiers, families of martyrs and people with meritorious services to the revolution.
