This is one of the activities to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the founding of Hanoi University of Science (now the University of Natural Sciences and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, under the Vietnam National University, Hanoi) and the 77th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army.
The location of the Memorial is where Professor and Principal Nguyen Nhu Kon Tum used to send off generations of cadres and students of Hanoi University of Science to join the army to protect the Fatherland.
The bronze memorial in the shape of a pen tower and inkstone depicting student soldiers is 1,596 cm high, placed on a 1,100 cm high stone pedestal among four flower beds blooming in all four seasons. This is a work of gratitude to many generations of teachers and students of the two schools who directly and indirectly participated in the resistance wars to protect the Fatherland, especially the largest enlistment in September 1971 with nearly 400 teachers and students of the two schools and tens of thousands of teachers and students of 33 universities and colleges in the North. Many people sacrificed their lives on many roads of the Fatherland. The funds to build the memorial were mobilized from contributions from individual veterans, cadres, students, teachers of the two schools in different periods and sponsors.
Speaking at the Inauguration Ceremony, Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Hoang Linh (Rector of the University of Natural Sciences) and Professor, Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan (Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities) emphasized the sacred significance of the Memorial Construction Project in educating the tradition of patriotism and willingness to sacrifice for the Fatherland for generations of students today and tomorrow. At the same time, the leaders of the two schools expressed their gratitude to individuals and organizations that have joined hands to contribute funds to complete the Project. In the coming time, when the epidemic situation develops more positively, the two schools will organize a commemorative event more worthy of the achievements of the Project.
