From Vinh city, following Highway 46, passing Nam Dan district, turning onto Highway 15A and continuing for about 15km, we arrived at Truong Bon on a beautiful sunny day. The historic Highway 15A has now been widened, houses are close together on both sides of the road, more shops have sprung up, a rhythm of urban life is gradually appearing here as if to cover up the sun, wind, and the barren brutality of war.
50 years ago, Truong Bon had a particularly important strategic position, the only place connecting the traffic arteries: Landmark 0 of the Ho Chi Minh trail, Highway 1A, Road 7, Road 34 for the Northern rear to support human and material resources for the Southern battlefield. Therefore, this place became the "coordinate of death". Countless heroic examples of steadfastness held out under fierce bombs and bullets, countless people have forever remained on this land, leaving behind immense pain. The ancient evidence is still there, engraved on the majestic monuments, on the martyrs' steles behind the incense smoke, and in the hearts of every living person, each time they remember a fierce but heroic time of bombs and bullets of war.
