The success of August Revolution in 1945 brought our people from being slaves to becoming the owners of a sovereign country. Not long ago, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was established, our people continued entering the long-term resistance war and won victory against French colonialists, completely defeating the new colonial war of the American empire. On April 30, 1975, the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign won completely. The South and the whole country were filled with red in celebration of the great festival - The great victory day of the whole nation, proving the great stature of Vietnamese people’s intelligence and spirit in the Ho Chi Minh era under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Together with the soldiers and people of the South and the whole country, despite being subjected to barbaric and brutal oppression, with a strong and indomitable will, and a firm belief in the leadership of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, in the cause of national unification, Binh Duong's army and people under the leadership of provincial Party Committee fought bravely and achieved many resounding victories; made valuable contributions to Vietnamese military art. Those feats contributed to breaking and smashing the will of the US imperialists’ invasion, changing the situation of the battlefield. During the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, the army and people of Thu Dau Mot rose up and completely defeated the puppet forces, smashed the puppet government apparatus and liberated the homeland, contributing to paving the way for our main troops on the offensive direction in the north of Saigon from Binh Duong to quickly attack the last stronghold of the puppet regime, successfully ending the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, liberating the South, reunifying the country, ending 21 years of the resistance war against the US, 30 years of the fight for national liberation.

With great contributions to the cause of the resistance against the US for national independence and freedom, the Party Committee, army and people of Thu Dau Mot-Binh Duong were honored to be awarded the title of "Hero of the People's Armed Forces" by the Party and State” in 1976.
