Visiting Heroic Vietnamese Mother Trinh Thi Lich (born in 1925), in the 2A residential area, Tran Nguyen Han ward; Quach Cao Bach (born in 1953), a seriously wounded soldier with the injury rate of 91 percent in the Tien Mon 2 residential area, Le Loi ward and the care centre for war invalids in Lang Giang district, Vice President Thinh expressed her deep gratitude for the devotion and sacrifice made by wounded soldiers, sick soldiers and relatives of martyrs, contributing to the struggle for national liberation and unification. 

She affirmed that promoting the nation’s tradition of "when drinking water, remember its source", the Party, the State and the people have always cared for the lives of policy beneficiary families, war invalids, sick soldiers and people who rendered service to the revolution.

Inquiring after the families’ health and lives, Thinh encouraged the Heroic Vietnamese Mother and wounded soldiers to continue the revolutionary tradition, deserving the teaching of President Ho Chi Minh "wounded but not useless"; and asked their descendants to actively engage in production and building cultural life. 

She urged the agencies at all levels, localities, officials and staff of the care centre for war invalids in Lang Giang district to raise the sense of responsibility, continue care for and improve the quality of nursing in order to better the material and spiritual lives of war invalids, ill soldiers and families of policy beneficiaries in the locality.

On this occasion, Vice President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh presented three gift boxes and 50 million VND to the centre, and gifted 50 seriously wounded soldiers who are under care here. At the same time, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Linh and Nguyen Sy Nhan, Secretary of the Party Committee of Bac Giang city, presented gifts to the Heroic Vietnamese Mother, wounded soldiers and the centre.
