A monument honoring the citizens of Hanoi who rescued a downed US pilot from Truc Bach Lake. The pilot happened to be the future US Senator John McCain, who was subsequently imprisoned in Hanoi's Hoa Lo Prison (Hanoi Hilton). John McCain and former President Jor Bidon visited the site and laid a wreath in reparation.
