Lieutenant Nguyen Van Thu from D-region Naval Command said: “We have prepared an altar with the photo of President Ho Chi Minh, a tray of 5 fruits, parallel sentences and of course a branch of peach blossoms and apricot. Some islets even have beautiful kumquat trees. The Spring atmosphere is pervading the air. At the same time, we stay vigilant and ready to protect the sovereignty of the island at any time”.
