The starting point of the legendary Ho Chi Minh trail, Khe Ho, in Vinh Ha Commune, Vinh Linh District, Quang Tri Province, was recognised as a national historical site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on November 1.
Based on historical evidence, Khe Ho was confirmed to be the initial point of Truong Son Strategic Supply Route by the Vietnam Institute of Military History.
On August 13, 1959, logistics Battalion 301 under the Special Military Operations Corps, the precursor to Army Corp 559, departed from Khe Ho to begin their first transportation of military equipment, food and ammunition to the Southern battlefield.
The recognition of Khe Ho as a National Historical Site honours and commemorates the nation’s glorious feats in the resistance war against the Americans.
