War veterans Nguyen Thanh Son and Nguyen Van Hien each received a gift worth 250,000 VND taken from the VNA’s Fund for AO Victims

On the occasion, the VNA’s Fund for AO Victims presented Tet gifts worth between 200,000 VND and 300,000 VND each to around 700 families of AO victims in 35 provinces and cities nationwide and nine wheelchairs for victims in Hanoi and Nam Dinh province.
