Showing gratitude to those who have contributed.

Upholding the tradition of "drinking water, remembering the source," over the years, Thai Nguyen province has always paid special attention to the care of people who have rendered meritorious services to the revolution. Policies and regulations for these individuals and their families have been fully and accurately implemented. Many resources have been mobilized to support and contribute to improving the material and spiritual lives of these individuals and their families.

The daily meals provided to war veterans and their relatives at the Thai Nguyen Provincial Center for the Care of War Veterans are always of high quality.

Following the wars of resistance to defend the Fatherland, protect the borders and islands, and fulfill international duties, Thai Nguyen province has nearly 13,000 martyrs; more than 11,300 wounded soldiers, sick soldiers, and those receiving benefits similar to wounded soldiers; 689 Vietnamese Heroic Mothers; 9 Heroes of the People's Armed Forces; and more than 111,200 people who were awarded Resistance War Medals and received one-time preferential treatment.

In order to improve the quality of care for people with disabilities and contribute to ensuring social security in the new situation, all levels and sectors in the province have implemented many synchronized solutions. Emphasis has been placed on disseminating and thoroughly understanding policies and guidelines, thereby raising awareness and responsibility among officials, Party members, and the people regarding the care for people with disabilities.

Over the past four years, the province has organized 39 training courses on policies and regulations for people with disabilities and new regulations related to this field, with more than 3,900 officials directly involved in people with disabilities at all levels participating (data from Thai Nguyen province and the former Bac Kan province combined). In 2025 alone, the province will organize 6 training courses, attracting more than 700 participants.

The timely updating and dissemination of new policies has contributed to improving the quality of resolving entitlements and policies for people with disabilities, ensuring that benefits reach the right people, the right beneficiaries, and comply with regulations. This is also an important basis for localities to better carry out the work of caring for and supporting people with disabilities in their areas.

Although the war veterans and their families have never demanded any compensation, everyone understands that countless people sacrificed their youth, blood, and lives on the battlefield to achieve the peace the country enjoys today.

Mrs. Trinh Thi Hong, residing in Nha Tho hamlet, Dai Phuc commune, the wife of martyr Le Quang Lien, emotionally shared: "My husband did not return, but during the most difficult times, my children and I always received the care and assistance of our neighbors, the Party, and the State to stabilize our lives."

Those simple words encapsulate the silent sacrifices of those left behind. Not only Mrs. Hong's family, but thousands of families receiving government assistance throughout the province have been receiving profound attention from all levels of government, relevant agencies, and the community through many practical activities.
