It is known that comrade Nguyen Dinh Tai's family is in difficult circumstances, with a father who is a war invalid, a grandmother who is a Vietnamese Heroic Mother, a wife who is a teacher and 2 young children living with their parents in a level 4 house in Thanh Thinh commune, Thanh Chuong district.

To help his family have a stable place to live and for comrade Tai to be able to receive treatment, the Nghe An Border Guard Command decided to support funding to build a comrade house. After 4 months of construction, the house was completed and put into use. The house has a solid and sturdy structure and long-term use value.

At the ceremony, groups and individuals presented Captain Nguyen Dinh Tai's family with many meaningful gifts.
