This not only helps you mature but also develops many skills, positive qualities and solidarity. Strive to overcome difficulties and challenges through effort and determination. Uphold the spirit and pride of wearing a soldier’s uniform and embodying the conduct of Uncle Ho’s soldiers. I hope that these national defense and security education courses will help you better understand the responsibilities of each individual and citizen in fulfilling their obligations to the country and their family.”
