The President learnt from the media that Truyen, who is head of Hoa Son village, along with Huong and other villagers, had risked their lives to rescue people who were trapped in flood water in the village and brought them to a safe location.
Lauding their bravery, President Phuc said they have set bright examples of courage and upheld the good tradition of the nation. Their examples should be multiplied in community, he said.
