In an effort to celebrate fathers everywhere, Gen. Liu visited Huang Chen-chao, the recipient of the MND’s 2024 Model Father Award, on behalf of Minister of National Defense Wellington Koo, in Kaohsiung 5 days ago. In addition to wishing him an early happy Father’s Day, Gen. Liu personally presented Huang with a cash prize, some gifts, and a plaque citing him for his achievements as a father.
Gen. Liu noted that Huang’s eldest daughter served as a Political Warfare officer at the ROCAF 3rd Logistics Headquarters, while his youngest son and son’s wife served in the 43rd Artillery Command and Army Artillery Training Headquarters, respectively. All of them had won widespread approval from their respective commanders. Huang had devoted his life to raising his 4 children alone, and encouraged them to contribute to society by pursuing a military career. Furthermore, Huang also gave back to the community with his volunteer work. Thus, there can be no denying that Huang is truly a worthy recipient of this prestigious award.
As Father’s Day draws near, Gen. Liu encouraged service members to care for their parents, and to carry out their duties safely, faithfully, and tirelessly. Gen. Liu hoped that all service members would honor their families by achieving excellence in their duties.
