Giồng Sắn Massacre memorial held in Đồng Nai

A memorial ceremony was held on September 27 at the Giồng Sắn Massacre National Monument in Đại Phước Commune, Đồng Nai, to mark the 62nd anniversary of the Giồng Sắn Massacre.

During the event, officials and local citizens offered flowers and incense to honor 536 innocent civilians who lost their lives on September 27, 1964, when enemy aircraft bombed a gathering of civilian boats at the Giồng Sắn junction. The ceremony, attended by local leaders including Deputy Secretary of the Đồng Nai City Party Committee Võ Tấn Đức, serves to educate younger generations on historical traditions and the value of peace.
