Quang Tri commemorates war martyrs

Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue chaired the proceedings on behalf of the government and Communist Party of Vietnam. Not only was this ceremony of historic significance, it also carried a spiritual purpose. Officials and citizens gathered together for a requiem for the men who have sacrificed their lives throughout Vietnam's struggles for liberation and national sovereignty. The congregation laid a wreath to commemorate the 81 days of the defence of Quang Tri Citadel in 1972.
