Soldiers are born to win, strive for first place, and uphold honor, which are the blood and character traits of soldiers. As the end of the year approaches, each unit carries out year-end assessments, and officers and soldiers are all ready and on high alert, just to carry the red flag and strive for first place. Looking at the assessment field, the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers to "strive for first place and take the lead" is high. Behind their good results, there are stories of their struggle to build a strong military. The vast number of officers and soldiers raise the sail of struggle, wave the oar of struggle, and win honors with their hard work in winning battles. Advocating honor is a fine tradition of our army and also the internal driving force for our army to win battles. This pursuit of value reflects the mission and responsibility of generations of officers and soldiers - during the military competition in the 1960s, 27 year old Song Shizhe, as a representative of officers and soldiers, reported to Beijing and was warmly received by Comrade Mao Zedong for shooting 40 bullets in 40 seconds, hitting all of them; At the international special forces competition, Yang Jiansong, known as the "model soldier of the whole army who loves the military and excels in martial arts," went on six expeditions for the country, winning 25 medals and fulfilling his resolute oath of "bringing glory to the motherland" with his achievements. Comrade Zhu De once said, "Everyone in the army is spiritually uplifted. You also want to make achievements, and I also want to make achievements, so that we can win the battle." No matter how the times change, "striving for first place and winning the battle" has always been the unremitting pursuit of revolutionary soldiers. Advocating honor has become an inherent requirement to carry forward the fine traditions of our army and maintain the true colors of revolutionary soldiers, giving birth to a group of brave soldiers who have made new achievements. This year, the Central Military Commission issued a newly revised "Disciplinary Regulations of the Chinese People's Liberation Army", further improving the system of military merit and honor recognition, injecting inexhaustible impetus into the growth and development of officers and soldiers, as well as their training and preparation for war. On the new journey, every officer and soldier should regard honor as a driving force to push themselves forward, cultivate the fighting spirit of "daring to wield the sword and daring to win", and accumulate strength and grow through constantly breaking through oneself and limits. Sow the seeds of honor in your heart, and the flowers of heroes will bloom. Watching the commended officers and soldiers wearing ribbons and red flowers, standing tall and proud on the podium, we believe that the revolutionary soldiers of the new era will inherit the gene and bloodline of the people's army advocating honor, continue to struggle for the great cause of building a strong country and a strong military, add glory to the military flag, and add color to their lives.
