(Baonghean.vn) - On the occasion of the 73rd anniversary of the Traditional Day of the Vietnam Youth Volunteer Force (July 15, 1950 - July 15, 2023), many tourists from inside and outside the province visited the Truong Bon National Historical Site in My Son commune (Do Luong).
During the resistance war against the US, Truong Bon was a key point on the strategic route to support the great front line in the South. Here, under the rain of bombs and bullets, the army and people of Nghe An, with the spirit of "living on the bridge, on the road; dying bravely and steadfastly", still maintained the traffic flow for convoys and troops to the front line. 1,240 outstanding sons of the army, police, youth volunteers, and frontline laborers died. Notably, on October 31, 1968, 13 Youth Volunteers of Squad 2 - "Steel Squad" of Company 317, Team 65, Nghe An Youth Volunteers General Team heroically sacrificed their lives. Today, Truong Bon has been built into a spacious historical relic site, a place for people from all over the country to visit and commemorate.
