On the same day, the Spring Volunteer Soldier contingent from the Youth Union of the State Management Faculty at the Ho Chi Minh City Cadre Academy enthusiastically joined activities, such as the experiential journey titled “A Day as a Soldier at Can Thanh Border Guard Post,” an incense-offering ceremony at the Sac Forest Heroic Martyrs' Temple and community-focused programs such as “Military–Civilian Solidarity” and “Spring Blossoms for Soldiers.”

Through cultural and arts exchanges, sports activities, team-based physical games, gift-giving, and opportunities to learn about the daily lives and duties of officers and soldiers, the program helped strengthen military–civilian bonds while nurturing ideals and a sense of responsibility among Youth Union members and young people.
