Dien Bien Phu Cemetery
Dien Bien Phu, Vietnam

The General Secretary of Vietnam's communist party, Nong Duc Manh, places incense on a grave at the military cemetery in Dien Bien Phu. Vietnam remembered the May 7, 1954 anniversary when Viet Minh forces overran the French garrison at Dien Bien Phu after a 56-day seige, forcing the French government to abandon its colonial control of Indochina.
