载誉归乡共勉从军

### English Translation Title: Returning Home with Honor, Encouraging One Another in Service

News Summary:
On March 23, Lingwu City held a spring welcome ceremony for veterans of 2026, delivered good‑news letters and cash awards to families of distinguished servicemembers, and bid farewell to new enlistees. The ceremony began with the national anthem. Officials placed a proud red flower on each veteran’s lapel, handed the families of distinguished soldiers their commendation letters and monetary rewards, and the new soldiers took a solemn oath and gave a representative speech.

After the program, 45 new soldiers, 10 veteran representatives, and 7 family members of distinguished servicemembers marched along Xiping Road. Drums, gongs, folk dances, and cheers from the crowd created a lively atmosphere. Since the recruitment drive began, more than 300 residents of Lingwu signed up. After medical exams and political reviews, 45 young people were approved for enlistment—27 of them college graduates—who will go to the barracks in stages.

Reflection and Insight:
This type of ceremony links each person’s decision to the support of their family and hometown. It affirms past sacrifices while looking forward to future responsibilities. In everyday life, respect, caring, hard work, and honesty are the simple strengths that sustain community help and the passing of values from one generation to the next. May every veteran, new soldier, and military family receive understanding and support from their neighbors, and may they carry this sense of duty back to their homes and workplaces.

Scripture:
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. — Psalm 23:1
