Incense offering ceremony held at Po Hen historical relic site
PANO – Delegates of Quang Ninh province offered incense and flowers at Po Hen historical relic site (Hai Son commune, Mong Cai city, Quang Ninh province) to pay tribute to fallen soldiers who laid down their lives while defending the country against Northern invaders in the Northern border 43 years ago (February 17, 1979 - 2022).
According to Chairman of Hai Son commune People’s Committee Vu Tuan Anh, the local authorities have worked with Po Hen Border Station to take care of Po Hen Monument while promoting information dissemination to local residents, especially the youths, so as to preserve and develop historic traditions of the fallen soldiers.
The historical relic site of Po Hen in Hai Son commune marked the fight and sacrifice of officers and soldiers of Armed Police Unit 209 Po Hen – the predecessor of the Quang Ninh provincial Border Guard Command. It is also a cultural work bearing traditional imprints of the border guard force.
