Following the tradition of their homeland, every year, local youths enthusiastically set off to fulfill their military service, joining the Vietnam People's Army and the Vietnam People's Public Security. Trained in the environment of the Army and the People's Public Security, many comrades have matured, contributing to continuing the glorious tradition of their homeland Hoang Mai, the northernmost point of Nghe An.

That achievement, in addition to the self-awareness and sense of responsibility of each youth and each family, also comes from the attention, investment and careful care of Party committees, authorities, departments, branches, unions at all levels and the majority of people in propaganda and education work on the responsibilities and obligations of youth in the task of building the People's Army, the People's Public Security, protecting the Fatherland and implementing well the Army's rear policy.

The Chairman of the Military Service Council of Hoang Mai town emphasized that our country is in a period of integration and development, our people are happily living in peace but there are still many difficulties and challenges. Hostile forces use all means to sabotage our country's revolution; the world and domestic situation is still complicated and unpredictable; natural disasters, storms, floods, droughts, epidemics occur frequently, especially the Covid-19 pandemic continues to develop complicatedly... greatly affecting the economy, society and people's lives.

In that situation, the Fatherland and the People are in great need of the dedication of the youth. I hope that the 101 young men who join the army this time will uphold the tradition of their homeland, the glorious tradition of previous generations, uphold the good nature of "Uncle Ho's soldiers", strive in all aspects, study hard, train, abide by the discipline of the Army and the People's Public Security, excellently complete all assigned tasks, and always be worthy of being young men of the Ho Chi Minh generation.
