The motherland calls my name!

Among the young people joining the army today, how many young men and women have written volunteer applications? Among the young people about to enter the military environment, how many have temporarily put aside their personal aspirations? I cannot guess, but I certainly know that today's young people no longer wait for the Fatherland to call their names, but volunteer to stand under the military flag, sing the military march and devote their youth to the Fatherland. If anyone has ever set foot in the remote villages of Nghe An, they can easily recognize the unique features of the Mong people's houses on the high mountain tops. The roofs of those houses are as dark brown as the fates of people exposed to the sun and rain; containing the bitterness of the land reclamation, village building, and Muong establishment... to create the origin and identity of an ethnic group. On the morning of February 14, in Hanoi, the Government presented to the National Assembly a report on the specific mechanisms and policies for investment in the construction of the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Project at the 9th Extraordinary Session of the 15th National Assembly. Once the poorest mountainous district of Quang Ninh province, Ba Che has now "changed its skin" and developed strongly. In addition to the support and investment policies of the State and the province, there is also a breakthrough from the internal strength of each person here, especially the young people. With their own labor and innovative thinking, they have strived to develop the economy, contributing to the development of their homeland. Among the generations of young people joining the army today, how many boys and girls have written volunteer applications? Among the generations of young people about to enter the military environment, how many have temporarily put aside their personal aspirations? I can't guess everything, but I know for sure that today's young people are no longer waiting for the Fatherland to call their names, but volunteer to stand under the military flag, sing the military march and devote their youth to the Fatherland. The surface of Lak Lake, Lak District, Dak Lak Province, in the early morning is as calm as a giant mirror reflecting the blue sky, reflecting the pristine rays of the morning sun. In the middle of that vast space, a plung (dugout canoe) gently glides across the clear water, leaving behind gradually spreading waves, like a whisper of the past echoing back. The Ban Ve Hydropower Project in Tuong Duong District (Nghe An) has been put into operation since 2010, but over the years there have been many problems and issues that have not been completely resolved. Recently, at the meeting between the Investor of Ban Ve Hydropower Project and related localities, Tuong Duong and Thanh Chuong districts, the parties agreed on a plan and budget to completely handle the existing problems. The 2025 military handover ceremony in Nghe An province took place in a warm atmosphere of compatriots and the eagerness of young people to join the army. In the moment of saying goodbye to relatives and families, many new soldiers could not hide their emotions and lingering feelings... General news of the Ethnic and Development Newspaper. The morning news on February 14, 2025, had the following notable information: A bridge to promote ethnic culture to tourists. Spring... "carrying" the house up the mountain! Going to Tay Ninh to watch the incense dragon dance. Along with other current news in ethnic minority and mountainous areas. According to the plan, on February 15, 950 citizens in the mountainous province of Lao Cai will leave for military service. According to the assessment of the Provincial Military Service Council, the number and quality of new recruits recruited for military service in 2025 have been improved. Hundreds of new recruits have volunteered to join the army. In early 2025, the General Administration of Customs of China issued a new regulation, from January 10, durian batches imported into China from Thailand and Vietnam must have a certificate of inspection for Candimi residue and yellow substance O (also known as Auramine O). Faced with this situation, people, businesses, production units and professional agencies of Dak Lak province have urgently sought solutions to meet the strict standards set by this potential durian import market. Since the beginning of this year, Quang Ninh province has recorded about 1,000 cases of flu and many respiratory diseases such as measles, chickenpox... The number of cases is quite high, but many people are still subjective, thinking that flu is just a mild disease, easy to recover and self-treat at home. Many universities have announced their enrollment plans for 2025 with many changes to suit the 2018 general education program. The Ministry of Health has requested the Department of Health of provinces and cities across the country to urgently develop plans and immediately organize the 2025 measles vaccination campaign in the area immediately after the vaccine is supplied, no later than one month from the date of receiving the vaccine according to the plan and report the results according to regulations.

Every year, around Tet, January and February, the jubilant atmosphere of the military enlistment festival and military enlistment festival is bustling all over the country. In the upper and lower villages; from urban to rural areas; from the lowlands to the highlands; from the South to the North…; the image that is easily recognizable is the excited faces of young men and women in their twenties about to enter the army.

Actually, the call-up had been around for several months. Before that, there was a rigorous and strict military recruitment and examination period at all levels and sectors. However, Spring is the season for military recruitment and transfer. That certainly makes sense. Spring is the starting point of a year. Human life begins with youth, and youth is the spring of society. Therefore, the military recruitment festival is held every Spring, as an implication of multiplying youth.

Among the generations of young people joining the army today, how many young men and women have written volunteer applications? Among the generations of young people about to enter the military environment, how many have temporarily put aside their personal aspirations? I cannot guess, but I certainly know that today's young people no longer wait for the Fatherland to call their names, but volunteer to stand under the military flag, singing the military march. That further affirms the responsibility and duty of each citizen; it deepens the desire of young people to contribute and share with the Fatherland.

There are new recruits who have just left school and there are new recruits who are party members, have university or college degrees, and have stable jobs that many people dream of. But why do they still put everything aside to volunteer to join the army? Why is a generation of young people willing to choose the military path to challenge themselves? The story of new recruit Do Nhu Y (permanent residence in Ward 1, Gia Rai town, Bac Lieu) speaks for us. Nhu Y graduated from medical school and has a stable job, but she still enthusiastically wrote an application to volunteer for military service in early spring 2025.

“My father is a soldier, ever since I was a child, I have dreamed of growing up to be a soldier, a soldier like my father. Although I always knew that the life of a soldier is hard, requiring hard training, I was very clear and determined to overcome all difficulties to become a worthy soldier, worthy of the tradition of my homeland and family...”.

Many young people dream of joining the army simply to serve the Fatherland and the country. Young man Vo Huy Hoang (19 years old, Cham ethnic group, Phan Thanh commune, Bac Binh district) is such a name. Hoang shared: “Since I was little, I have loved the green uniform of the soldiers, my dream is to become a Border Guard. Because the Border Guard is associated with the task of protecting the border and territory. Therefore, I wrote an application to join the army, just hoping to contribute my youth to serve the Fatherland.”

The young people who joined the army this year came from many different hometowns. Each person had a different fate and situation… but they met each other in their ideals, in their youthful aspirations, taking military service as a way to train and establish themselves and their careers. Perhaps that is why many beautiful stories of young people, on the threshold of becoming new soldiers, have taken away many emotions from everyone.

Although I am not in the military environment, it is difficult to fully appreciate the sacred ideals of each soldier. But when I witness the military handover ceremonies and the oath of allegiance under the military flag, my heart cannot help but flutter, as if I were also a soldier, singing the military march.

Since time immemorial, the calling of the Fatherland has always been a sacred and noble proposition for each person before the fate of the country. Although each period and mission is different, when the Fatherland needs, generations of young people are ready to accept the mission. Even among those young people, there are many who volunteer to join the army.

This is completely reasonable and in line with the slogan that today's youth generation is holding high: "Don't ask what the Fatherland has done for you, but ask what you have done for the Fatherland today" (song "Aspirations of Youth" by musician Vu Hoang).

In this Spring, the new soldiers are also hearing “The Fatherland calls their name”. The call to join the army is passionate and urgent; like the drumbeat urging the army to march forward. I see, in the ranks of the past and present, a readiness for the fate of the country, of the Fatherland of each soldier. And I also see, a spirit of daring to commit, to sacrifice, to be ready to respond of so many young people to the sacred call of the Fatherland. Just that alone is enough and very precious.
