The name of hero Nguyen Thi Suot is known throughout the country as a symbol of revolutionary heroism. Her mother's name is associated with historical events in the early days of fighting against the Americans of the army and people of Quang Binh in particular and the whole country in general. It is a vivid and heroic symbol of our nation's determination to defeat the American enemy, to protect national sovereignty. Mother Suot is a typical woman of the land of "two good people", as beloved Uncle Ho praised, "Quang Binh is good at fighting and good at production". Through long years of fighting against the French colonialists and coming to victory. In 1954, not long after peace was restored, the empire started a destructive war. Setting up the Gulf of Tonkin incident, in 1964, the US imperialists began to raid the North, and the Dong Hoi - Quang Binh area was considered by them to be a hotbed, the front line of a large rear, so they focused on raiding. with the most fierce and intense level with the intention of destroying and leveling, turning this place back to the Stone Age. Mother Nguyen Thi Suot was born in Van Chai hamlet, Phu My village (now My Canh hamlet, Bao Ninh commune, Dong Hoi town). Since childhood, I had to go live to take care of myself. My mother's life has been from one rich house to another, working as a hired laborer all year long, all month long, but still miserable. The August Revolution successfully cut off the chains of slavery, liberated the homeland, the nation and liberated her own life. But before we could rejoice, the French colonialists invaded our country again and like the rest of the country, my mother had to continue her miserable and bitter life. When the American invaders waged war to destroy the North, her mother was now 60 years old, but following the call of the revolution, Uncle Ho and the local Party Committee, she understood the miserable life of slavery and the loss of her country. melted as well as imbued with love for the homeland and hatred for the American invaders who destroyed the villages. Mother Suot volunteered to take on a seemingly normal, simple but extremely dangerous job: Carrying a ferry across the Nhat Le River at that time was one of the three important tasks of the 3-room team: prevention and treatment. fire, first aid, transport of wounded soldiers and transportation. Go back in time to the early days of anti-Americanism. That day was Sunday, February 7, 1965 (ie the 6th day of the Lunar New Year), the US Air Force massively attacked and bombarded Dong Hoi town and surrounding areas (they mobilized 160 aircraft). modern jet). Dong Hoi town seemed to be shaking in the smoke and fire of enemy bombs. On the Nhat Le River, black columns of water were thrown up violently by bombs and bullets. Mother Nguyen Thi Suot still proudly held the oar to carry soldiers across the river, transporting ammunition from the shore to our warships to fight back against the enemy. Mother's ferry trips are also a communication line between Dong Hoi town and Bao Ninh. Under the rain of bombs and bullets from the enemy, my mother and the ferry ferried officers, soldiers, and people back and forth between shores. There is no more beautiful image than a mother who is over 60 years old and still defies danger, proudly holding her head high in the face of a series of bombs and bombs that the US always controls and prevents. Those who passed by her mother's boat during those heated hours could not help but admire the courage and courage of a mother who turned hatred into extraordinary actions. And until now, those who directly fought and witnessed the morning of February 7, 1965 still cannot explain and understand why in the midst of Nhat Le river, boiling water and burning bullets, Mother Suot still heroically rushed forward and fought. Completed the mission so excellently: supplying ammunition to our navy to fight back American planes, bringing wounded soldiers to shore, transporting soldiers to the river. Mother Suot's victory and many other silent victories of Dong Hoi's army and people created a resounding miracle in just two days, February 7 and 8, 1965, Dong Hoi's army and people shot down 14 American planes. ; From February 14 to April 28, 1965 - 5 American warships were sunk and set on fire in Nhat Le Sea - opening the brilliant victory of our army and people. After that fierce battle, Suot's mother boat continued to transport officers and soldiers across the river during the days of fighting against the Americans. With her mother's achievements, on January 1, 1967, mother Nguyen Thi Suot was awarded the title of Labor Hero in the resistance war against the US and to save the country by our Party and State. The war became more and more fierce, with painful losses in the South, the US imperialists increased their attacks on the North and Dong Hoi continued to suffer from bombs and bullets. On October 11, 1968, while on duty, Suot's mother heroically died in an enemy bomb attack. Such a vivid picture of revolutionary heroism. That image has been known by the people of Quang Binh and the whole country as a typical example of a heroic Vietnamese mother. The old Mother Cheo wharf became a typical historical relic in Quang Binh during the anti-American period with a loving and respectful name: Mother Suot wharf.
