War pictures on show
A photo exhibition titled Dong Loc, Mother and Home-town, opened on Sunday, in Dong Loc Historical Relic Site in the central province of Ha Tinh.
Nearly 100 photos were taken by veteran photographer Tran Hong. They highlight heroic Vietnamese mothers and war memorabilia from the Dong Loc T-junction in the province where 10 young female volunteers sacrificed their lives in the war against the US.
The exhibition, part of meaningful activities to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Day of War Invalids and Martyrs, will last until the end of the month.
