Family reunions lift spirits among soldiers on offshore platform
During a trip to islands in Vietnam’s southwestern waters and the DK1/10 platform in September 2026, parents shared emotional reunions with their sons serving offshore. Their embraces and tears of joy gave the soldiers added strength and encouragement to fulfil their mission of safeguarding the nation’s maritime sovereignty.
