Offering flowers in memory of Truong Bon Youth Volunteers
The war has long gone, Truong Bon today is reviving day by day with changes and the development of the country. The vestiges of a time when bombs and bullets have sunk deep into the ground and rocks, on the old arterial road, there are now green forests, schools and houses. But the image of the Youth Volunteers with the determination to "live and cling to the bridge, cling to the road - die steadfastly and bravely", those feats and sacrifices are forever engraved in the hearts of comrades, people across the country and today's young generation. The feats and sacrifices of the brothers and sisters have contributed worthily to the great victory of our nation in the resistance war against the US to save the country and liberate the nation. Truong Bon National Historical Relic Site is an unforgettable, heroic witness in the history of the struggle for national liberation, a red address to educate the tradition of patriotism for today's young generation.
At the ceremony, the leaders of the Central Youth Union, the Provincial Youth Union, and the members offered flowers and incense to the brothers and sisters to express their respect and deep gratitude, and vowed to live, study, work and serve more worthy of their contributions and sacrifices.
