Among them, there is a mass grave of 13 Youth Volunteers of the “Steel Squad”, belonging to the 317th Youth Volunteer Company of Nghe An who sacrificed their lives while on duty on October 31, 1968.
During the two resistance wars against French colonialism and American imperialism, National Highway 15A - where Truong Bon is located - was a particularly important strategic location, connecting the North - South traffic arteries.

Truong Bon became the fire coordinate in the escalating bombings of the US imperialists in the North of our country. Here, with the spirit of uprising and strong will, the army and people of Nghe An fought bravely. Many people died to protect the smooth route, including the Youth Volunteer Force and cadres and workers of the Transport sector.
