Politburo member Tran Cam Tu led a central delegation to offer flowers and incense at the Kim Lien Special National Relic Site, President Ho Chi Minh’s birthplace in Nghe An Province, before travelling to the Dong Loc Junction Special National Historical Site in Ha Tinh Province to honour fallen soldiers and youth volunteers.
The commemorative activities also marked the 76th anniversary of the Viet Nam Youth Volunteer Force and the 58th anniversary of the Dong Loc Victory.
At Kim Lien Special National Relic Site, the delegation paid homage to President Ho Chi Minh, recognising his lifelong dedication to national independence and the people's well-being. His ideology, morality and leadership style continue to serve as a guiding force for the Party and the nation, while the Kim Lien relic site remains an important destination for preserving and promoting his legacy.
At Dong Loc Junction Special National Historical Site, the delegation offered incense at the national memorial dedicated to more than 4,000 fallen youth volunteers and paid tribute at the graves of the 10 young female volunteers who laid down their lives while repairing roads under heavy bombing 58 years ago to keep vital supply routes open during the resistance war against the US.
The sacrifice of the 10 volunteers, the youngest of whom was just 17, has become a powerful symbol of patriotism, courage and selflessness in Viet Nam's struggle for national reunification.
