Mrs. Nguyen Thi Minh in village 3, Thach Son commune is the wife of martyr Nguyen Dinh Long, who died in the Laos battlefield on April 15, 1970. After her husband passed away, she raised three children alone and now lives alone in a small, seriously degraded house. In that situation, the Association for Supporting Families of Martyrs of the province in coordination with the Department of Transport and the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam supported 50 million VND to build a house of gratitude. In addition to this amount, local authorities, socio-political organizations, villages and relatives supported materials and working days to complete the house.

Supporting money to build houses of gratitude for martyrs’ relatives not only solves the housing difficulties for families with preferential policies, but also has great humanitarian significance. It is gratitude, responsibility, and a concrete and practical action of the gratitude movement, demonstrating the morality of remembering the source of drinking water./.
