Hanoi (VNA) –
Whenever March comes, people across Vietnam turn their hearts to
Gac Ma Reef of
Truong Sa archipelago, a sacred territorial part of the Fatherland, to pay
tribute to officers and soldiers who heroically fought until their last breath
for the country’s maritime sovereignty.
The March 14, 1988 event,
which was associated with Gac Ma, Co Lin, and Len Dao reefs, has become
immortal in the struggle for independence and freedom of Vietnam.
