The Vietnam’s Heroic Mother Statue - The Vietnamese Heroic Mother Monument
Situated on Cam Mountain in Tam Ky, this grand statue pays tribute to the extraordinary sacrifices of Vietnamese mothers during wartime. It was inspired by Nguyen Thi Thu, a local mother whose story epitomizes resilience and patriotism—she lost nine sons, one son-in-law, and two grandchildren, all of whom sacrificed their lives for the nation’s independence and freedom.
During the visit, the guide will share poignant stories about Mother Thu—her bravery, her sacrifice, and the compelling reasons she sent all her loved ones to defend Vietnam. It’s more than just a monument—it’s a tribute to the strength of motherhood and the spirit of a nation.
- My Lai Massacre - Son My Memorial - The Mỹ Lai Massacre was one of the most tragic war crimes committed by U.S. troops during the Vietnam War. On March 16, 1968, over 500 unarmed civilians—mostly women, children, and the elderly—were brutally killed in Sơn Mỹ village, Quảng Ngãi province.
On this profoundly moving tour, a local guide will lead visitors through the memorial site and museum, where powerful exhibits and original color photographs taken on that fateful morning vividly depict the horrors of the event. Visitors will have the opportunity to offer incense or flowers at the worship temple, honoring the memory of the 504 innocent victims.
Next, stroll through the quiet village nearby, where heartbreaking stories are still remembered by the local people. Step by step, visitors will witness remnants of destroyed homes, preserved foundations, and the mass graves where many victims were laid to rest.
This experience is not only a lesson in history but also a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of peace.
