Walk up to the copper group on Đồi D1, the eastern outpost of the Dominique group. The group is three soldiers and one Thái child. The flag reads “Quyết chiến, quyết thắng.” The sculptor is Nguyễn Hải. The ceremony yard under the group is about 3,000 m². The copper group is also 217 tons. A yard and a weight are not one measurement. From the hill you look over the city, the yellow rice, and the ridges. The hill is also kept as a peace park with that view.
