The mobilization of troops to the North demonstrated the profound strategic vision of President Ho Chi Minh and the Central Committee of the Party in laying the foundation for building the North and consolidating forces for the struggle for national reunification. At the same time, the mobilization to the North became a symbol of patriotism, national unity, and the unwavering determination of our people and army, who went forth for a great cause, for the noble revolutionary cause that remains ever-shining.
Thanh Hoa Bridge - Lach Hoi Port (now Quang Tien Ward, Sam Son City) is the first place in the North to welcome compatriots and soldiers from the South to the North. 70 years ago, this place welcomed thousands of wounded and sick soldiers, cadres, students and their families to the North many times. Lach Hoi Port has become a place that holds many memories of the exciting days of studying and working of children from the South; a place to nurture "red seeds" who actively contribute to and build a prosperous and happy Vietnam.
