General Phung Quang Thanh
The Ancient Citadel of Quang Tri, built by the Nguyen Dynasty in 1824, witnessed a magnanimous time of Vietnamese troops in the war against American invaders in 1972.
Over 81 days and nights from June 28th, 1972, Vietnamese soldiers tried their best to protect the Citadel from the invaders’ bombardment.
A number of Vietnamese troops heroically died in that battle.
The Citadel has been named in the list of national historical relics sites.

After the incense offering, General Phung Quang Thanh had a short tour around the Museum of Quang Tri Ancient Citadel, which is keeping various precious belongings of martyrs.
Also, General Thanh dropped flowers in tribute to martyrs on Thach Han River.
