the Vietnam Youth Volunteer Force |
The Party, State, and people will forever bear in mind the great devotion of and sacrifice by generations of youth volunteers, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said at a ceremony on July 14 to mark the 70th anniversary of the Vietnamese Youth Volunteer Force (July 15).
He asked the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee, the Vietnam Ex-Youth Volunteers Association, and related agencies to care for the lives of ex-youth volunteers and promote the operational efficiency of the force in the new era.
"We should not let any ex-youth volunteer live in poverty," the PM said, stressing that attention should be paid to not only ex-youth volunteers themselves but also their children.
He ordered a review of policies on youth volunteers to facilitate the force's participation in socio-economic development activities, especially in remote, border, island, and underprivileged areas, the PM said.
He urged all-level Party committees, authorities, the HCM Communist Youth Union, and related organisations to better their communications efforts and teaching the young generation about patriotism.
The PM expressed his hope that Vietnamese youth will prove their role in national construction and defence with various revolutionary movements.
On this occasion, 70 outstanding youth volunteers from different periods who greatly contributed to the development of their locality and unit were honoured.
Some 70 savings books and 21 houses were also presented to ex-youth volunteers now in difficult circumstances.
Statistics show that more than 6,700 youth volunteers laid down their lives during wartime while over 40,400 were wounded and some 14,000 affected by Agent Orange/dioxins./.

Youth volunteers served together to help injured people in need during the Vietnam War.
After the war, the volunteers were forced to flee the country for their safety and find new homes. They had no idea that they would later reconnect on the internet and come together to commemorate the relationships they had built during the Vietnam War.
They weren’t afraid to risk their lives to help soldiers and the village people
They stood strong and went out there not thinking about the dangers for themselves, but about helping others
We were students who wanted to use our strength and energy to heal the damage from the war, and we did our best to do that
Authorities should pay attention to the daily life, health care, and job creation for the children of former youth volunteers
they were shining examples of revolutionary heroic spirit and were committed to the Party and State in the fight for national independence.
To spread the spirit of former youth volunteers, the union has held many movements with the participation of tens of millions of young people to build national socio-economic development and defence.
former youth volunteers marked their names in many victories in key battles such as Cò Nòi and Đồng Lộc Intersection and Truông Bồn Historical Site.
Those who contributed to the socio-economic development of the nation should also be encouraged and honoured.
The bravery and great sacrifices of generations of youth volunteers for our revolutionary cause will never be forgotten.
Their patriotism, devotion and commitment for national liberation and unification must be kept up in today’s Youth Volunteer Movement.
Voluntary units covered a wide range of activities
Voluntary Youth Corps represented a generation of young Vietnamese that: “Carved up Truong Son Range for national salvation/ with full of hope for future in our heart”.
They are incontrovertible proofs of our revolutionary heroism and unforgettable memories in our history and in Vietnamese people’s mind.
After the liberation of the South, youth volunteer force continued to play pioneering role in border wars and participate in rebuilding the country and boosting economic development.
Youth voluntary members are young pioneers, willingly to overcome any difficulty and make sacrifice for the country. With not only bravery and hardworking spirit but also creative thinking and absolute loyalty, they worked miracles and deserved to be the spearhead on the most challenging fronts of the nation
Vietnamese youth in general and voluntary youth members in particular are still the pioneering force in realizing goals and policies issued by the Party and the State.
voluntary youth movements have become more and more wide-spreading among young people and in our entire society.
Today, young Vietnamese must keep up the pioneering, creative and voluntary spirit of previous generations in youth volunteer movements to contribute to the success of Doi Moi, international integration, economic development and the defense of Vietnam Socialist Motherland.
