A set of lead openers of the revolutionary martyr Dang Tien Loi:
He used them to bomb in a radar zone of Americans and their puppets located in
Son Tra peninsula on the 15th August 1972. It took him 3 months to prepare the
attack. He had to eat fried rice, sleep in dark caves to secretly find out
targets and make battles. Together with his six partners, he had ten successful
attacks to the zone which caused great damages to the enemy. Unfortunately, he
died in the tenth assault on 12th December 1972. A set of lead openers which are
shown in the museum are the only remains after his death.
A pair of slippers of Phan Thi Mua: She was born in 1955, and worked as a
special task force member of Danang city. In 1972 she was appointed to attack
American fuel depot at the crossroad Trung Nu Vuong - Nui Thanh. So she decided
to work there. Everyday she hided a little of dynamite power in her slippers and
brought it to the depot. For four months from April to August 1972 four kilos of
dynamite were carried in. The whole city was shocked by a big explosion at 9pm
in the middle of August 1972. The depot was destroyed. She was granted a
resistance war medal of second level by the government in 1975. A two-bottomed
basket of Ho Le Phuong family: They plaited the basket with two bottoms. It was
used to bring secret documents to their son Ho Le An, a revolutionary soldier in
period of 1965-1970. They decided to give it to the museum for display in 1977.
