| Mr. Le Cong Tam (born 1953), wearing a white shirt (right), carries a parachute hammock, a keepsake that has been with me for more than 50 years. He said: “This hammock and some personal belongings were given to me in 1971, before I went to the South. Since then, it has been associated with the fierce fighting days on the Quang Tri battlefield, never leaving it, even when I was injured and had to be transferred to the rear.” Photo: Dinh Tuyen |

| Mr. Pham Ngoc Ky has 10 years of military service, and was a reconnaissance company commander. For scouts, binoculars are an "inseparable" item when on duty. It helps them observe from a distance to grasp the terrain, terrain, and enemy defenses to draw maps, helping unit commanders develop combat plans. Photo: Dinh Tuyen |
