The seriously wounded soldiers sat in wheelchairs, but their uniforms, demeanor and appearance... all still reflected the spirit of Uncle Ho's soldiers in the past.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Kim (Party Secretary, Vice Principal of the School) spoke

Representing the delegation of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Kim was moved to express his gratitude to the wounded soldiers and the staff, doctors and nurses who are performing their duties at the Center. Overcoming all difficulties and challenges, the Center has completed the tasks assigned by the Party, the State and the people. Today, although the war has ended, countless sacrifices, injuries and physical and mental losses are still present in every soldier, every family, every countryside of this country. However, the image of the wounded soldiers who are always optimistic, overcoming their injuries, continuing to live and contribute, worthy of the title of Uncle Ho's soldiers in any circumstances is a source of encouragement and motivation for the younger generation, urging the spirit and will of the nation to rise up. The University of Social Sciences and Humanities, with more than 70 years of tradition, is the leading flag in training, scientific research and the movement of "putting down pens and paper to save the country". Generations of teachers and students of the University have joined in a time of "fire and flowers", together with the people of the whole country to fight for national independence and unify the country. Many cadres and students of the University have heroically sacrificed, many have returned to continue their career of educating people and scientific research. The University also welcomes many veterans from many battlefields to work. The University's Veterans Association currently has nearly 38 members, is active and has a profound influence on the political and ideological life of the University. That further multiplies the significance of the gratitude activities, remembering the source of the teachers and students of the University. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Kim shared: “Generations of cadres and lecturers of the University always remind themselves as well as educate generations of students and trainees to continue the tradition of responsibility towards the country, with the task of firmly protecting national sovereignty and independence”. This is the 5th time the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has visited the Duy Tien War Invalids Nursing Center, Ha Nam.

Mr. Nguyen Si Luong (Party Secretary, Director of Duy Tien Nursing Center for War Invalids)

Mr. Nguyen Si Luong (Party Secretary, Director of the Center) on behalf of the wounded soldiers and the staff of the Center expressed his emotion at the sentiments of the teachers of the School. When the country fell silent, the wounded soldiers still fought every day and every hour at the hospital bed, with their injuries, with the challenges of everyday life to rise up and continue to live well, fulfill their responsibilities to their families and society... They were all brave warriors, conquering themselves, maintaining the discipline and style of Uncle Ho's soldiers. The staff of the Center are always diligent, quiet and modest, accompanying the wounded soldiers and their relatives, building a stable and developing Center, successfully completing the tasks assigned by the Party, the State and the people.
