Sign shows the project of reconstruction of Highway Ho Chi Minh "trail" on the completed section running toward Cam Lo, Dong Ha. Ultimately comprising more than 12,000 miles of roads and paths through some of the world's harshest geography, the trail and the epic struggle behind building and crossing it became the bloodiest experience for an entire generation. Graves filling 72 military cemeteries in Vietnam stand as silent, grisly testimony to the notorious road's devastating toll.
