The Dong Loc cross-road was an important intersection during the war time. US forces tried to ravage this area in order to block the supply of weapons, food and personnel from the north to southern battlefields. In just 240 days and nights, from March - October, 1968, the US air force dropped 48,600 bombs of all kinds down here.
The area also witnessed the heroic sacrifice of 10 young volunteer girls who were on their duties to repair the road after a fierce battle.
In the Truong Bon historical site, the NA Chairman offered incense at the memorial house for 1,240 heroes and martyrs who died on the legendary Truong Bon road to protect the route.
In his addresses, NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue expressed deep gratitude to heroic martyrs who laid down their lives for the nation. He and the delegation promised to stay united to fulfill tasks assigned by the Party, State, NA, and the people to further develop the country.
