Commemoration of Hero Lê Văn Việt
Hero of the People’s Armed Forces Lê Văn Việt (1937–1966), also known as Tư Việt and Nguyễn Văn Hai, was a member of the Saigon–Gia Định urban commando force. He took part in many armed operations during the resistance war against the United States, notably the attack on the US Embassy in Saigon on 30 March 1965. Arrested, sentenced to death and exiled to Côn Đảo, he and his comrades organized another escape attempt in October 1966, but it failed. Following torture and complications from earlier wounds, he died on 30 November 1966, aged just 29.
