The Party official and the delegation expressed their deep gratitude and respect for fallen soldiers and Heroic Vietnamese Mothers who devoted their youth and lives to defending the sovereignty and territory of the nation.
Truong Son National Cemetery is the resting place of soldiers who sacrificed their lives during missions on the Ho Chi Minh Trail during the resistance war against the US. There are more than 10,000 tombs at the cemetery.
Meanwhile, Road 9 was a strategic route connecting the Vietnam-Laos border with Dong Ha in Quang Tri during the resistance war against the US. The enemy built many military bases along the road to cut off the flow of supplies from the north of Vietnam for the southern battlefield.
In the resistance war of the Vietnamese people against the US imperialists, Quang Tri was the site of several of the fiercest battles, typically the 81-day-and-night battle to defend the ancient Citadel of Quang Tri from June 28, 1972, to September 16, 1972.
The battle significantly contributed to the liberation of the south and the national reunification.
