The main tasks were to fill bomb craters, clear roads, transport weapons and food to the battlefield, and bring wounded soldiers to the rear for treatment. In 1972, while transporting food with her teammates, Ms. Thang was hit by a bomb fragment and had to be discharged from the army.
Returning home after 3 years of fighting in the Truong Son mountains with many hardships, fierceness and a head wound, Mrs. Thang was not as normal as before. Some time later, she married Mr. Nguyen Van Viet, a retired soldier from the same village.

Due to sadness, Mr. Viet passed away 2 years ago, leaving his wife in a dilapidated house that had been built for decades, waiting to collapse. On a stormy day, the neighbors had to take Mrs. Thang to their house for shelter, because they were worried that she would not be safe alone.

Sharing the joy with Mrs. Thang, the family of Mr. Tran Huu Xuan (born in 1951) in Hamlet 2, Cat Van Commune (Thanh Chuong) has just been handed over a house of gratitude with the help of the Navy Command. Mr. Xuan is a former Navy commando, who spent 4 years (1969 - 1973) operating and fighting in the Cua Viet and Dong Ha areas (Quang Tri), was awarded the Third Class Military Exploit Medal and the title of Brave Soldier, and is a 4/4 disabled veteran.
Returning to normal life, the family faced many difficulties due to having many children, his wife was often sick and had to spend a lot of money on medical treatment. His health also declined rapidly, his wounds kept recurring, he could not take care of farming, causing the family's finances to be in a constant state of shortage.
The old house has been damaged and leaky for many years. Many times they thought about repairing it, but they still don’t have enough money. Mr. Xuan and his wife always live in anxiety, especially on rainy and windy days when water leaks everywhere.

Mr. Xuan excitedly said: “Tet 2020 will definitely be the happiest ever, because the family will be able to gather and reunite in a spacious, cozy house. At the age of “rare”, having worked hard all his life to make a living, a house is a dream, now it has come true, there is truly no greater joy”.
