2. Sample essay recounting the encounter with a driver-soldier in the Poem of the No-Windshield Squad - Sample 2:

On the occasion of December 22nd, our school once again organized various activities to provide opportunities for students to explore the glorious history of the generations before us. Particularly, in the program 'Golden Milestones,' the school invited veteran soldiers, those who directly participated in the war. Among them was the appearance of the driver in the poem 'Poem about the windshieldless platoon.' The conversation session left a lot of reflections and impressions on me.

After the speeches, there was a period for our students to chat and interact with the veterans. When it was my turn, I quickly posed a question:

- I was deeply moved when reading the poem 'Poem about the windshieldless platoon.' Today, sitting here chatting with the veterans, especially with Mr. Nam, the driver mentioned in the poem, I feel extremely proud and happy. Could you share more with us about the difficulties and challenges you and your comrades faced while driving on the Truong Son road, sir?

With a composed, warm voice, Mr. Nam replied:

- Thank you for your question. The poem 'Poem about the windshield-less squad' is crafted by the poet Pham Tien Duat, a close comrade of your grandfather. Just as the poem depicts, the harshness of life in the Truong Son mountainous region during the war was truly challenging. Driving on long stretches of road was already tough, but driving vehicles without windshields made it even more perilous. The constant bombardments caused the windshields to shatter. Your grandfather felt as if he was sitting in the driver's seat with the world around him. He remembers that back then, the roads were not like they are now. The forest roads were full of rocks, and the vehicles raised thick dust. That's why everyone's hair turned white or gray. On rainy days, the rain soaked through everything, but everyone tried to complete their mission. They used to joke, 'No need to change, just drive another hundred kilometers/ When the rain stops, the wind will dry everything quickly.'

As you can see, despite the harsh reality, the veterans always maintained an optimistic attitude, ready to face difficulties and challenges. With the motto 'All for the South, our flesh and blood,' these drivers did not hesitate to do anything as long as there was an order to transport food and weapons.

In addition to those memories, your grandfather also remembers the days when he and his comrades set up the Hoang Cam kitchen, sharing meals. Despite shortages of sugar, the camaraderie was always full of warmth. Your grandfather recalls the times when people from all over gathered to form a small squad, laughing, chatting together. The handshakes over the broken windshield made the veterans more trusting and optimistic. That handshake is the bond, the comradeship, the adhesive that binds them together, your family's glue!

After hearing your grandfather's sharing, I have gained a deeper understanding of the war in the past. The camaraderie, the optimistic spirit helped them defeat the enemy. Your grandfather's heartfelt words make me appreciate the sacrifices, dedication of the older generations even more.
