Two beautiful female military medical officers, Nguyen Minh Chau and Nguyen Phuong Thao, excitedly took photos to show off the small gifts they had just received from the people and soldiers from other blocks. Besides, a female student burst into tears because she regretted the short farewell moment when she could meet the soldiers in person on the parade. She had waited all night to meet and interact with the soldiers. Photo: Manh Hung.
