Many journalists believe that Truong Bon is not only a place that marks the heroic sacrifice of 13 heroic martyrs, but more than that, it has become a symbol of the bravery and patriotism of thousands of Youth Volunteers in the whole province. It is necessary to establish a fund of comradely love to share with the Youth Volunteers in difficult circumstances; especially with the families of the 505 Youth Volunteers of Nghe An province who died in the resistance war to protect the Fatherland.

Concluding the press conference, the representative of the Provincial Journalists Association acknowledged the contributions of journalists to the activities commemorating the 50th anniversary of Truong Bon victory; at the same time, hoped that the press agencies would grasp the plan, closely follow the program to do a good job of propaganda. Propagating and spreading the meaning of Truong Bon victory has been carried out for many years, so it is necessary to deeply explore and exploit new characters and perspectives to improve the quality of press works about Truong Bon./.
