Coming here, I suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia, a feeling both familiar and strange. Familiar because through the stories printed in books and newspapers, I could somewhat imagine the scenery here, imagine each facial expression of the heroes and martyrs who are lying in Truong Bon. Strange because this was the first time I set foot in the "sacred land", and saw with my own eyes the vast landscape with mountains, hills, fields, and villages.

From there, I got a specific, vivid impression of the place that was once the "fire coordinate" and the life and fighting spirit of the people and soldiers during the years of fierce American bombing.

Coming here right on the occasion of preparing for the 54th anniversary of Truong Bon victory, I witnessed many delegations of visitors coming to offer flowers and incense to the souls of the heroes.Hero, martyrfought and sacrificed on the legendary route. Especially, when I heard the explanation about the relic site, about the heroic sacrifice of 13 youth volunteers of Company 317, my heart was filled with emotions that are difficult to express in words.

Through that, I feel more proud and understand more about the heroic history, brave spirit, and fearlessness of hardship and sacrifice of the youth volunteers during the anti-American war.

Today, I have the opportunity to present the Truong Bon National Historical Site with color-restored portraits of 13 heroes and martyrs who died on October 31, 1968. As a son of Nghe An, now living and working in the capital Hanoi, I am always proud of the patriotic tradition, always indomitable and resilient in fighting of many generations of my hometown people.

Among them, Truong Bon is one of the “red addresses” educating the revolutionary spirit for the young generation. I could not hold back my tears when listening to the tour guide tell about the sacrifice of 13 youth volunteers of Company 317. When peace was near, the future was wide open, the brothers and sisters still clung to the battlefield and fell at dawn.

Details about your personal life, love life and plans bring more sympathy and emotion to me.tourist, especially for young people like our generation. Because we were born and raised when life was no longer too difficult, deprived, and we were cared for and educated, we could not fully understand the hardships and sacrifices of the generation that fought against the Americans.

For that reason, the members of Team Lee and I decided to restore 13 photos of heroes and martyrs to show our pride in our homeland and our gratitude to those who have fallen. Through this, we hope to help visitors to Truong Bon visualize more clearly the faces of the young men and women who have transformed into the homeland's land.
