Dong Loc Forked Road:
It is the meeting place of the two provincial roads, No 5 and 15 in the hilly area of Ha Tinh province. During the anti-US was of resistance the Dong Loc forked road was the main junction of the supply line from the North to the Ho Chi Minh Trail. US aircraft concentrated a very great number of bombs and ammunition in repeated effort to destroy the junction and the surrounding area. this less than 20-km section of road had to undergo 2,057 bombardments from the air.

A unit of 10 young female volunteers, aged from 17 to 20, led by Miss Vo Thi Tan was assigned to maintain the road and keep it open to traffic. Despite repeated heavy bombardments of the road by the US Air force, they stayed at their post, using only shovels and hoes to level bomb craters. Tragically they all were killed during an air attack of the road on July 24,1968.

A monument engraved with the names of the ten heroines was erected on a hill at the Dong Loc road junction which is now once more surrounded with green trees.
