　　In carrying out the activities of delivering warmth to veteran soldiers, a military unit takes full advantage of human and technological resources in its stationed area to run a computer network tutoring evening school to enable 85% of veteran soldiers to acquire suff icient knowledge on computer operation and computer network and more than half of them have now passed the national computer grading examination. Many veteran soldiers who have got the Qualification Certificate said gratefully: “what our unit has done for us has warmed our hearts!”
 
　　Delivery of warmth to veteran soldiers has been a fine tradition of our army. Every year, all units would organize such activities before their veteran soldiers leave the army. For instances, organizing sightseeing trips for veterans soldiers, giving them physical check-up before they leave their units or doing them some good turns, etc. This is of course quite necessary. However along with the changes of the times, the needs of veteran soldiers have changed as well. Many veteran soldiers give much thought on whether they have the ability to blaze a new trail and make a successful career after demobilization. Under such circumstances, helping them to learn a particular skill is beyond doubt the best way to deliver warmth to them. Presently, the demobilization work is under way throughout the army, thus delivery of knowledge and technical skill to veteran soldiers and boosting their professional capabilities hold the key of doing a successful ideological work of veteran soldiers.
