In today’s bulletin, we meet a special American who took part in protests demanding an end to the unjust US war in Vietnam in the late 1960s and 70s. He is Professor Ron Carver, a peace activist who was awarded the “For peace and friendship among nations” insignia by the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations for his ceaseless support of the Vietnamese people’s “Struggle for Peace”.

The Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations on February 16 held a Memorial Ceremony for Merle Evelyn Ratner, a peace activist, anti-war advocate, and fighter for civil rights and progress. The devoted friend of the Vietnamese people passed away on February 5, 2024.

Two bombs weighing over 1,600kg left from the US war in Vietnam have been safely removed from the gardens of local families in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak, the Military High Command said.
