Doing business so that no one is left behind

After returning from the war, many of them simply started from farms, growing crops, raising livestock, some became business directors, cooperative leaders. Each economic model developed, adding a group of old comrades with jobs, adding a few young people who were children of comrades to learn a trade, and receiving support. Those soldiers silently transformed themselves into “guides”, passing on their bravery and life experiences, not only through words, but also through concrete actions, responsibility and love.

As a person who is passionate about building a circular economic model from waste, over the years, the Thanh Binh Transport and Environmental Services Cooperative model of Mr. Nguyen Huu Hoach and veterans of village 7, Luong Vuong commune (Tuyen Quang city) has created jobs for hundreds of workers, especially children of comrades, teammates and those who have made mistakes, have jobs, have stable income, and soon reintegrate into the community. In 2024, the revenue from waste recycling and transportation business of the Cooperative reached over 13 billion VND, contributing nearly 1 billion VND to the budget, creating jobs for over 120 workers with income from 6 to 8.5 million VND/person/month.

Not only developing the economy, Mr. Hoach also actively supports the community, participates in charity activities, and promotes environmental protection. With his great contributions, he was awarded the Third Class Labor Medal, the title of "Outstanding Citizen of Tuyen Quang Province" and is one of the 100 outstanding Vietnamese farmers in 2022. He is a shining example of the spirit of a veteran who constantly contributes to society, contributing to building a clean, green, bright, beautiful homeland and sustainable development.

In Vinh Loc town, Chiem Hoa district, former Youth Volunteers Nguyen Quang Vinh, Vice President of the Chiem Hoa District Association of Former Youth Volunteers, has expanded his family's driftwood carpentry workshop, making handicrafts. In particular, he always prioritizes vocational training for children of policy families. Currently, he has trained and created jobs for 5 workers, with an average income of 6 - 8 million VND/person/month.

One of the people Mr. Vinh helped was Mr. Tran Van Dien, Doan Ket village, Trung Hoa commune (Chiem Hoa), son of former Youth Volunteer Tran Van Dao. Mr. Dien emotionally said: For more than ten years, I have been accepted by Mr. Vinh, a fellow Youth Volunteer of my father, to work in his family's driftwood workshop with an average income of about 8 million VND/month. For me, his love for my father and I is like a guiding light, helping me have a stable life like today.

Silent soldiers in peacetime

When the guns have stopped, peace is something that soldiers always cherish. But peace does not only come from stopping the guns, but also from keeping people's hearts at peace. The soldiers return, with the calmness and depth forged from the battlefield, becoming silent "peacemakers" in the community and residential areas.

In Tan Thinh residential group, Son Duong town for many years, disabled soldier Pham Van Vuong, Party cell secretary, head of the group's Front work committee, is such a person. Wherever there is a land dispute, wherever there is a small conflict, he is there, his words are always listened to.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Hoach received the Cooperative Star award in 2024.

Recently, through reviewing the criteria for building a civilized urban area, Tan Thinh residential group still has some criteria such as traffic roads and intra-field roads that have not been met. He proposed to the Party Cell to mobilize people to contribute 52,000,000 VND, and was supported by the province with cement. Tan Thinh group has built 300 meters of intra-field roads and 200 meters of traffic roads in the group.

Up to now, 100% of the roads have been concreted, creating convenience for people's daily life and production. Security and order have been maintained, and 12/12 conciliation events have been organized, contributing significantly to maintaining national solidarity, developing the economy and society, maintaining political security and participating in building the grassroots political system.

Returning to normal life, the war veterans and former Youth Volunteers continue to uphold the revolutionary tradition and promote activities for the sake of comradeship. They are not only the past, but also the present and the future. They live, work, and continue to serve the country in a very unique, persistent, quiet, and kind way. Along with that, the members have actively participated in educating the younger generation about patriotism and revolutionary traditions, participating in building the Party and the political system, and building a peaceful and happy life. They are forever a source of pride, a flame of tradition that shines forever, encouraging today's younger generation to study and follow.
