Red Beach - famous mosaic in the mind as follows American soldiers who had served in the Vietnam War and both with their wives and children.

Hoang Tien Dung – business man – General manger of  Xuan Thieu beach resort, said: Last year at this beach, he accidentally exposed a woman about 40 years from Folorida, USA.

After wander around the beach, takes some photos, look haggard by the white plate of stone  "Red Beach Resort & Spa" in front of the resort, the woman tells that  she on behalf of her elder father to come to Da Nang - Vietnam find this place again.

Christin's father, a woman named it, is one of the first American soldiers landed in Vietnam on this Xuan Thieu beach Afternoon on 8-3-1965.

The artillery has landed the opening for the "local wars" fierce behest of President Lyndon B. Johnson on the battlefields of the South. Not only are American guns, but now the war directly by humans, bone meat with American soldiers, then ended with the fall of over 46 thousand American soldiers on a strange land, over 30 thousand people other body of water with disabilities ...

Christin's father was not injured, but injuries to his anxious spirit. I asked, he said, did not know he had read "The Vietnam War - and losses" of American historian Nigel Cawthorne Da Nang Publishing House published the first in Vietnam in 2007 yet.

Not much in that book, has not been put online, the message back to the countless books on the Vietnam War, not everyone should have.

In which few people know details yet, it is the first American soldier killed in Danang on the day of the first American troops landed on the beach south of Xuan Thieu, again by the Americans. The incident occurred during a patrol of U.S. marines first outside the hills west of Da Nang.

In 3500 the American marines on the ship opens her mouth landed Xuan Thieu was struggling quite a large wind waves.The meeting, which may be the reason for Americans to immediately name for this beach is Red Beach - Red Sea beach.

This beach, usually early morning or sunset, especially when cold, bad weather is down dew, sunlight refracted through the mountains west of angling for the opposite direction as the red sea.

"I decided to invest here as well from the red color associated with a historic event not two. My wife in this country, ten years before my wedding took place on this beach, then still wild documents, "Dung of his experience.

He intends to build a small memorial park named Red Beach with basement, remnants gallery, photos, autographs of American soldiers that day, now when returned to Vietnam.

He says, in the U.S. is the club, the site named "Red Sea" of a veteran ...

Because he strictly confess to me that they are strictly his is in this little village of Xuan Thieu, nor try to guide local fluently, but how life was in this land already.

Sage from the face, providing relief to speak standard, but the man's life was just walking through age 60 is pretty much ups and downs. Being in school baccalaureate service, the captured troops, additional information on soldiers from Phu Bai Airport in Hue.

Two years at the soldiers, deserters failed so many times he was transferred as an infantryman. In 1972, the sergeant would be strictly by the Xuan Thieu fled when he also deserted, lies quietly at home. Liberation of, after the local study seven days, he wore clothes from her farmers, while less than 30 years of age.

Adult children in the village when the war was chaos so pretty much illiterate. Learned more or less words, he wanted to share concerns with relative villages.

Then, the field day, night classes, he stands on the complementary cultures. From the years 1978 - 1979, he joined the Agricultural Affairs, in charge of the plan of the Agricultural Cooperative Hoa Hiep Hoa Vang district.

In 1997, separates the provinces of Hoa Hiep ward become a Lien Chieu district (now known as Nam Hoa Hiep ward), he was elected strictly by the population groups of 11 from then to now, get more promotion work study, poverty reduction and local school.

"The boys his head by a difficult economic conditions the time the study should also work well, making his torment. The child is the youngest university study last year, so good. Now the brothers together with friends village and relatives do to help some young children in poor neighbors do not cut school or classes and is happy, "he smiled with relief by strictly.

The last paragraph provides sea Nguyen Tat Thanh going to go through the open village Nam O beach. Thanks Bui fishermen are hearing officers to speak on the compensation piece of ground turned out to sea going clearance revoked.Compensation may not satisfy him.

His staff gone, he turned to me, seems the forehead: "The project paved the way, people also suffer a complement to infrastructure. Know that, but clearly also have to tell that, people willing to support" .

Lao fishermen say this wind waves eat a captured military service, when the release was almost thrown into the sea making guns out of strokes since then. He still remember the American soldiers landed on the beach front, then 15 years old still running into view.

"My parents siblings supplies for the revolution, while I may not have to go out the militia soldiers guarding the airport perimeter. The place, now I hesitated father still living by the sea hang on, despite what is not, but that happiness, as more applications are, but a stray bullet as war, found that economic ...".

Hoa Hiep Nam now has 49 population groups with about 3200 households, private sector organizations with 20 Xuan Thieu. Visit the veteran former Ten Pham Hoa Hiep commune chairman, the president is front wards, listening to his preliminary sketches through Xuan Thieu beach on a day after the war with wild willow, cactus, ground unprepared and flying sand, but where is the sea route along the picturesque city blocks san villa close high-rise homes as now.

The story is about the present, when coming up to five population groups of the Xuan Thieu in this highway to the release of white, the other six cleared land to make one third of residential construction Hoa Hiep 3 , Urban Water Tu, Nam O Fair New ...

The home village of Xuan Thieu, bone tools Huynh story, mentioning the words "Xuan Thieu," a proudly. Specific lead me home, only to double the sentence preceding the gate: "Spring collecting antiques handed natural blessings - Optical traumatic East breaking down the anthem." 

Xuan Thieu Quang Thieu get meaning from text - the beautiful light of spring. Then this place will change much more spacious, better hope so.

When this time found its way into the neighborhood in, see Xuan Thieu women who are taking advantage of the sun drying of rice root wind sea. Nguyen Thi Tip, 49, in the 17, stopped, said this is probably the last crop before the delivery of family land to expand urban areas, people must move to new housing. House is 5 ½ acres of farmland, enough to eat algae frequency, this change must take other jobs.

"Not know how. Just when hope for a new home, a street crowded house, being sure enough sales to live ...".

Late afternoon sun hung behind the mountains, learn for the sea has not always see the red color appears. Perhaps today upon weather, gentle sea, no wind dew.

Recalling mid-July afternoon three years ago, the same wing journalists, I sat on the ferry from steel giant squeeze into the belly of the ship "open his mouth" of the U.S. Navy, USS Peleliu parked right bay This Xuan Thieu beach.

As a hospital ship at sea when the giant was brought by 120 American doctors and seven countries in Asia - Pacific during a peace mission of medical activities, charitable help poor places outskirts of Da Nang.

The handshakes. The friendly smile. It is not clear whether any of the U.S. Navy on board are children of soldiers who had landed on this strip of sand 45 years ago?

Hoa Quy me on occasion that the same sea Marble Joan Nguyen Ngoc My, 23 year-old girl born original Vung Tau grew up in Little Saigon (California), to record images and her team visit a doctor on board treatment develop drugs for the elderly and children. Vietnamese remember saying also slightly raised her volunteer dentists: "Vietnamese people happy too eh his brother, who met them saw them laugh ...".

The picture of the ship "open his mouth" peaceful sea Xuan Thieu, and both sides Ngoc My beautiful Vietnamese patients, maybe I'll give Mr. Dung to include "storage memory" of his Red Beach, once it completed.

For more a lack of deep blue light, the Xuan Thieu beach ...
