QUANG TRI TODAY:

Quang Tri Province is the geographic center of Vietnam, bordered on the east by the Eastern Sea (South China Sea on most maps) and on the west by Laos. The province was split in 1954 by the temporary line of de marcation between the northern and southern parts of Vietnam, pending the national elections schedule in 1956 as called for by the Geneva Agreements. However, the elections were cancelled by the south when it seemed likely that Ho Chi Minh would have won the presidency in a free election. As the U.S. began to pour troops and supplies into the South, Quang Tri Province and the Demilitarized Zone (or DMZ) soon became the scene of the fiercest fighting of the war.

                  Quang Tri Citadel, Quang Tri - HOW THE VC SAW IT  

Quang Tri Citadel was built in 1824, during the 4th year of the reign of Minh Mang. The citadel is approximately 60 km north of Hue. The citadel had a style of Vo-bang architecture with its circuit of 2.160 metres – one door each side. There were four fortressed jutting out from each four corners to control the four citadel gates. Inside was the town palace surrounded by a system of thick walls with circuit of 400 metres. The town palace was a three-roomed house whose two wings were used as places for the King to worship, and to give promotions to his inferiors or to occasionally celebrate festivals. Outside the town palace, there were a flagpole and castles such as Tuan Vu, An Sat and Lanh Binh and a rice store, etc and under the French domination, soldier camp and tax agency were added. However there are no remains of the past there nowadays – due to the destruction of U.S bombs in the hot summer of 1972.

The incident of 81 days and nights (from June 28 to September 16, 1972) has made this citadel well-known all over the world. By using fire-power, the South Vietnam puppet troop was determined to re-occupy Quang Tri old citadel within a couple of days. Quang Tri town, therefore, had to suffer from the U.S bombardment and shelling of 140 B52 aircraft in turn, more than 200 tactical planes, 12 – 16 fighter planes and cruisers. Within 40 days and nights it had suffered 80,000 tons of bombs – as many as that in the World War II in African battlefield within a month. Sometimes the number of bombs dropped in Quang Tri a day was far more than that on the whole South battlefield in the years of 1968-1969.

Sometimes the number of bombs dropped in Quang Tri a day was far more than that on the whole South battlefield in the years of 1968-1969.

Especially, on July 25, there were 5,000 shells fired at an area of 3 square km2 of Quang Tri and its vicinity once suffered 20,000 shells of big size a day. The US aggressors used bombs and shells with their destructive capacity, to destroy Quang Tri, equivalent to 7 atomic bombs the they dropped onto Hiroshima and Nagasaki – Japan in 1945. It is, really, unbelievable that each inhabitant in this land had to suffer 7 tons of bombs averagely. Also, this has proved that ours is a heroic nation – for 81 days and nights, the whole Quang Tri Old Citadel had been shaking by U.S bombs and shells, and it was at the same time, the whole Vietnamese people turned towards their undaunted Quang Tri Old Citadel, following every step of our liberation armed forces. All were determined, side by side with Quang Tri to fight to their last breath. The Northern people had saved everything such as: ammunition, food and etc. to send to Quang Tri. Thousands and thousands of young men joined the army to go to the front. Many among those have been gone forever in this Quang Tri land.












Thanks to Steven Curtis for below:
It was always a relief when daylight finally arrived.  I soon learned the wisdom in the popular saying “We own the day, but Charlie rules the night.”  During the day, we went looking for them, but couldn’t find them.  At night, they came looking for us and they knew exactly where to find us.  

At sun up, our daily assignment at Quang Tri Airbase was to provide extra infantry support for Engineers as they swept the 12 miles of Highway One between Quang Tri and Dong Ha for mines. It took about two hours and was usually pretty routine.  We did get involved in a few small firefights but otherwise nothing much happened.  The most excitement was finding the clues left behind from the previous night’s battles: burned out trucks, huts still smoldering, the awful sight of blown up water buffalo that had stepped on mines and on a few occasions, a dead body.
