War has inflicted immense pain and loss upon our nation, with our soldiers fighting fiercely. Among them, many have fallen on the battlefield, while others have become wounded veterans with lifelong scars. Below is the story I will recount about an act expressing gratitude towards veterans and fallen soldiers.
On that day, the 27th of July, our school organized students to clean and offer incense to commemorate the fallen heroes at the martyrs' cemetery. According to the assigned tasks, each of us carried equipment including brooms, trash bags, gloves, and tarpaulins. Upon arriving at the cemetery, each of us had a task: some were pulling weeds, some were sweeping and cleaning the paths, while I accompanied the teacher, gently wiping each plaque and tombstone. As we worked, our teachers narrated stories about the heroes, stories that showed us the noble sacrifices they made, leaving us all in awe, admiration, and gratitude for the previous generations. After tidying up, we, along with our teachers, stood before the monument, placing white chrysanthemums and lighting fragrant incense, bowing our heads in remembrance of those who fell for peace and independence, grateful for the sacrifices of the fallen heroes.
Farewell to our uncles and brothers, stepping out, our hearts filled with indescribable emotions. But one thing is certain, within each of us lies a promise, to strive to study, train, and endeavor, to follow in the footsteps of the fallen heroes in building our homeland.
Vietnamese mothers are also silent heroes in the resistance war against the U.S. to save the country. They are the loved ones of the heroes, hiding their own pain as they bid farewell to their husbands and children heading to battle. Writing about the theme of gratitude towards veterans and fallen soldiers, you may also refer to the essay Telling the story of a heroic Vietnamese mother to deepen your article.
2. Tell an action expressing gratitude towards veterans and fallen soldiers, sample #2:
During the recent Tet holiday, I had the opportunity to accompany the elders in the village to visit and wish Tet to the families of veterans and fallen soldiers. I did something meaningful to express my gratitude to the veterans and fallen soldiers.
That morning, I joined a delegation to visit Mrs. Sau, a woman whose husband sacrificed in the resistance war against the U.S. Her situation was dire, living with two grandchildren as her son and daughter-in-law had to work far away. Their house had nothing but an empty room and a few chickens and pigs. Despite her old age, she had to take care of the grandchildren tirelessly. Seeing everyone visiting Mrs. Sau and her grandchildren joyfully, I noticed Mrs. Sau sweeping the yard. I rushed over to assist her, ushering her inside to entertain the guests while I cleaned the rest of the yard. Later, I sat down to chat with the two young children, Mrs. Sau's grandchildren, who were younger than me. I promised to take good care of my books and give them to the children later for their schooling needs. Everyone was surprised by my actions and thoughts, but for me, I felt joy in doing something useful and meaningful.
It was an incredibly meaningful experience for me, listening to stories from the wartime that urged me to strive in my studies, to contribute my small part to preserving, protecting, and developing our country.

During the recent summer break, I participated in volunteer activities to assist revolution contributors, veterans, and the disabled in the commune.
I was assigned to assist Mrs. Dang Thi Thanh's family, whose husband and son sacrificed in the war. Mrs. Thanh, over 80 years old, petite, slightly hunched, with slow steps and blurred eyes, remains very sharp. Every morning, I would help her sweep the house, water the vegetables, do the laundry, pick vegetables, and sometimes even help her with corn husking and peanut shelling. Whenever she saw me, she was delighted, often offering me snacks. We would work and chat happily together, and since I started helping her, she has become much happier and more optimistic. On days when she fell ill, I would call my mom to take her to the clinic and buy medicine for her. With no one else to rely on, as both her loved ones sacrificed for the country, I believe we should be a support for people like Mrs. Thanh, so they don't feel lonely.
Even after the volunteer activities ended, I still regularly visit and help Mrs. Thanh. To me, she is like a family member.
