Twin boys from Nghe An love the color of soldier's uniform
(Baonghean.vn) - "Since childhood, both brothers have loved the color of the soldier's uniform. I dream of becoming a Border Guard officer, and my younger brother wants to join the Navy." That is what Nghe An-born Hoang Bui Manh Hao shared at his home in Ward 11, Vung Tau City (Ba Ria - Vung Tau).
Aspiration and dedication
Among the 270 young people from Ba Ria - Vung Tau who volunteered to join the army in the Spring of Giap Thin 2024, there are two twin brothers from Nghe An (Thanh Chuong district, Nghe An) who are eager to join the Army to train, contribute and aspire to serve the Army for a long time. They are Hoang Bui Manh Hao and Hoang Bui Mai Hao, born in 2005, in Quarter 1, Bac Son Street, Ward 11, Vung Tau City.
The twins “with the same name but different middle names” are as alike as two peas in a pod, from their faces, hair to personalities. Perhaps that’s why their “thinking” is the same, choosing the Army as their future career, and that is also the hobby and aspiration of Manh Hao and Mai Hao.
Hoang Bui Manh Hao said that his father is from Thanh Chuong (Nghe An), his mother is from Bien Hoa (Dong Nai). The family has 3 brothers, all 3 of whom like to join the army. He himself has loved the image of Uncle Ho's soldiers since he was a child. He watched and loved TV shows such as "We are soldiers" and information about army soldiers. "The color of the army soldier's uniform always sparkles in my heart. Right after graduating from high school, I registered for the entrance exam to the Army Officer School 2 (Nguyen Hue University - Dong Nai) but was not accepted that time. To continue to fulfill my dream, I wrote an application to volunteer for the army and was lucky to be accepted this time. My aspiration is to be trained and dedicated in the army environment, to become a Border Guard officer serving the army for a long time. The Border Guard will be the meeting place for me to fulfill my dream, I will definitely study, train and strive hard to achieve my aspiration" - Manh Hao shared.
Sharing the same dream and ambition as his brother, Hoang Bui Mai Hao also volunteered to join the Army this time. The only difference is that the image of Uncle Ho's soldiers he chose was not the faded grass-colored uniform of the infantry or the green border guard uniform of the forest; instead, he chose the "white seagull uniform" to satisfy his youthful ambition and to roam the remote islands of the Fatherland.
When I asked, “What was the reason you chose to join the Navy - a force that always faces difficulties, hardships, patrolling and guarding remote islands?” Mai Hao affirmed: “I love the navy uniform. Choosing the Navy as my military career is my dream. I want to set foot on Truong Sa island or DK1 platform, with my comrades guarding, patrolling and guarding the sacred sovereignty markers of the sea and islands of the Fatherland. I will strive to become a Navy officer to serve the Army for a long time” - Mai Hao affirmed.
Will take the children back to Nghe An to visit their hometown.
In a ground-floor house on Bac Son Street (Ward 11, Vung Tau), Mr. Hoang Bui Hong speaks with a "thick" Nghe accent. "I just hope my two children join the army and strive to become officers serving the army for a long time. I don't want anything more."
Mr. Hong shared that his hometown is Thanh Chuong district. He used to be a soldier and was stationed in Gia Lam district (Hanoi). In 1984, he chose Vung Tau Con Dao Special Zone (now Vung Tau City) as his second hometown. His wife - Mrs. Pham Thi Thuc is from Bien Hoa (Dong Nai). The family has 3 children. The eldest son is studying and training at the Military School of Military Region 7.
During the conversation, Mrs. Pham Thi Thuc always encouraged her two children to try hard and strive to complete their tasks. The father shared his aspirations: “I hope my two sons will join the army, on one hand to continue the family tradition, on the other hand to strive and train. My aspiration as well as my two children's is that my children will become officers, serve the Army for a long time, contribute to building a strong Army, and firmly protect the Fatherland in peacetime.”
When asked, “Have you ever brought your two children back to Nghe An to visit their hometown?”, Mr. Hong explained that his family has also encountered many difficulties in life. Since the birth of their twin sons, he and his wife have not had the opportunity to bring their children back to visit their hometown. “But I will definitely bring my children back to Nghe An to visit their hometown. That day is not far away. How can I forget my hometown?”, Mr. Hong wished.
In the Spring of Giap Thin 2024, Vung Tau city has 273 young men enlisting to perform military service. In this recruitment, the whole city has more than 270 young men volunteering to join the army, the Nghe An twins Hoang Bui Manh Hao and Hoang Bui Mai Hao are two of those 270 outstanding young men.
On February 27, two young men from Nghe An said goodbye to their parents and relatives to join the army. In the border or remote islands, there will be many initial surprises and difficulties due to the "strict steel" in the military environment. However, Manh Hao and Mai Hao will certainly complete their mission excellently. Because the burning desire of these two young men from Nghe An, "same age and same name", has satisfied their wishes, just as they and their families wished./.
