Addressing the event, Politburo member and Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Popularisation and Education Dinh The Huynh said the central province of Quang Tri played an important strategic position during the war. It took place the final strategic offensive, the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign 1975 that led to the liberation of the southern region and national reunification.
Quang Tri suffered huge losses.
Before and after the Tet Offensive 1968, Quang Tri soldiers and people unyieldingly fought and defeated the most powerful American army units on the Route 9 battlefield, leading to the epic Khe Sanh – Huong Hoa victory that ruined the US’s civil war strategy, forcing it to sit down for negotiations at the Paris Conference.
Huynh recalled that the Quang Tri liberation campaign and heroic struggle to defend Quang Tri ancient citadel throughout 81 days and nights in 1972.
The ceremony started with a performance demonstrating how Vietnamese soldiers crossed Thach Han river to march toward Quang Tri ancient citadel amid avalanches of fires.
The program is staged elaborately, representing the deep social significance. The event also included a meeting of the soldiers shared in the frontline in the past.
The Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Popularisation and Education emphasised that the Party and State always take care in implementing tasks to express gratitude to policy families and those who rendered their services to the revolutionary war.
