General Vo Nguyen Giap – a legendary general of Vietnam and the world, is the pride of generations of officers and soldiers throughout the armed forces. For thirty years, leading and directing the revolutionary war (1945-1975) as Commander-in-Chief of the army, General Vo Nguyen Giap made significant contributions to the glorious victories of our nation. The image and exceptionally outstanding contributions of the General to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation will forever live on in the history of our country.

* In keeping with the tradition of "Remembering the source when drinking water, repaying gratitude," General Secretary and President To Lam, along with the Central delegation, visited and laid flowers and offered incense to commemorate the heroic martyrs at the Gianh Ferry Terminal National Special Historical Site. In a solemn atmosphere, the delegation respectfully expressed their deep gratitude and appreciation for the immense contributions of the heroic martyrs.

During the war against the US, Gianh Ferry became a particularly important link in the strategic transport route supporting the Southern battlefield. It marks the "First Victory on the Gianh River" of the Vietnam People's Navy, a historical milestone affirming the will, courage, and wisdom of the nation in the cause of defending the homeland. From this land, the spirit of "cutting through the Truong Son Mountains to save the country" was forged and spread strongly, contributing to the great victory of the nation.

The Gianh ferry crossing is not only a crucial river crossing point, but also a shining symbol of the unwavering will and courageous spirit of the youth volunteer force, soldiers, and local people. This place was once a focal point of intense bombing and shelling during the two protracted wars of resistance. Amidst the rain of bombs and bullets, the forces steadfastly held their ground, maintaining this vital transportation artery and upholding the nation's unwavering belief in victory. During those brutal years, thousands of outstanding sons and daughters of the nation bravely sacrificed their lives, forever resting in this sacred land.

Here, General Secretary and President To Lam signed the commemorative guest book and offered incense at the Victory Monument of the Vietnam People's Navy.

* With profound respect and gratitude, General Secretary and President To Lam, along with the Central delegation, visited and offered incense to commemorate and pay tribute to the heroic martyrs at the Truong Son National Martyrs Cemetery, the eternal resting place of the beloved sons and daughters of the Fatherland who bravely sacrificed their lives on the legendary Truong Son road during the war against the US to save the country. Among them were cadres, soldiers, youth volunteers, and civilian workers of the 559th Regiment - Truong Son Army.

With a total area of ​​140,000 m²²With 10,263 graves of martyrs gathered there, the Truong Son National Martyrs Cemetery is the largest memorial project, expressing the profound remembrance, gratitude, and honor of the entire Party, army, and people of Vietnam for the beloved sons and daughters from all parts of the country who sacrificed their lives and blood for the cause of national liberation and reunification.

This place is not only visited by families of martyrs, delegations from the Party and State, and local authorities to pay their respects and express gratitude, but it is also a pilgrimage site for people from all over the country and international friends, following the beautiful moral tradition of the Vietnamese people: "Drinking water, remember the source."
