In the former Phuoc Thanh land, Phu Giao Party Committee, authorities and people have put together their efforts to overcome all difficulties and build up the developing Phu Giao. That countryside had a 4/4 wounded soldier with a long record of achievements from wartime to peacetime, which was commended by the Party, State and people.

Indeed, through many hardships and fierce battlefields, war invalid Nguyễn Hữu Vận has kept thinking that he was still luckier than many other comrades when he returned to his family.“As a wounded soldier, I always tell myself how to rise up in life, develop my family economy, set an example for children and grandchildren to reduce poverty and contribute to building the homeland."Sometimes I craned at difficulties but then due to the encouragement from family members, I tried to overcome", he said.
