The monument is being built within the premises of the Yok Don Border Guard Station, covering an area of about 150 square meters. The project includes several components: the statue, crafted from a single block of stone, modeled after the work "Listening to the Voice of the Country" by Vu Ngoc Khoi; the pedestal, cast from reinforced concrete and faced with stone; and surrounding the pedestal, four-tier steps also faced with stone and a small landscape garden. The total cost of the project is nearly 500 million VND, funded by the Dak Lak Province Border Guard Command, local party committees, and authorities from Lak, Cu Kuin, and Krong Na districts, and Emulation Cluster No. 6 of Buon Ma Thuot Youth Union.

The “Uncle Ho with Border Guard Soldiers” monument serves as a place to educate about tradition and history, motivating officers and soldiers to continue studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, style, and his teachings to the Border Guard. Additionally, it contributes to enhancing the station's image in foreign affairs and acts as a cultural highlight on the border.

This is the sixth monument jointly built by various units along the Dak Lak border. Previously, monuments were constructed and handed over at Bo Heng, Yok M’Bre, Ia Rve, Se Re Pok Border Guard Stations, and Dak Rue Border Gate Station. The project is expected to be completed in time for the 20th anniversary of the Yok Don Border Guard Station (September 10, 2004 – September 10, 2024), the 120th anniversary of Dak Lak Province's establishment and development (November 22, 1904 – November 22, 2024), and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People’s Army (December 22, 1944 – December 22, 2024).
