Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Luom - Secretary of Thang Binh District Party Committee said that in the spring of 1975, in harmony with the boiling atmosphere of the whole country, the army and people of Thang Binh coordinated with the main force to simultaneously attack and rise up to regain power throughout the district. It started with the launching ceremony of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Military Command on the evening of March 13, 1975, in Duc An (Binh Phu). With a strong spirit of attack and uprising, continuously from March 14 to March 25, 1975, the army and people of Thang Binh gradually attacked and destroyed the enemy at key locations.
On March 25, 1975, on the routes of Ha Lam - Cho Duoc, Ngoc Pho - Hung My - Binh Giang, the puppet soldiers surrendered. March 26, 1975, went down in the history of the revolutionary struggle of the army and people of Thang Binh district when the two wings of the district's army and reinforced cadres took over Thang Binh district, completely liberating Thang Binh district, contributing with the army and people of the whole country to make the great spring victory, completely liberating the South, and unifying the country on April 30, 1975.
On March 27, 1975, after the district agencies and departments took over the district capital, the Standing Committee of the Thang Binh District Party Committee decided to establish a Military Management Committee consisting of 11 comrades. On the morning of April 3, 1975, a rally to celebrate the complete liberation of the homeland was solemnly held at the district stadium. Tens of thousands of compatriots from all over the district with colorful flags and flowers came to attend the festival of the complete victory of the homeland.
The historical event of March 26, 1975 was not only a brilliant milestone in the golden history of the district but also contributed to creating the immortal heroic epic of the people of Quang Nam and the Vietnamese people in the resistance war against the US to save the country.
In Thang Binh, the war claimed more than 26,000 lives, including more than 10,000 martyrs, more than 1,600 wounded and sick soldiers, thousands of people infected with toxic chemicals or forever carrying the scars of war. Most of the communes and villages of the district were heavily damaged by enemy bombs.
In recognition of these great contributions and sacrifices, the Party and State have conferred the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces on the armed forces and people of Thang Binh district; conferred and posthumously conferred the title of Heroic Vietnamese Mother to more than 2,000 mothers (now 20 mothers are still alive); conferred and posthumously conferred many medals, badges and other noble awards to many collectives and individuals who have made outstanding achievements in the cause of fighting to protect the Fatherland.
After the liberation, from a purely agricultural district, often lacking food and having to receive subsidies from the province, today Thang Binh has achieved many achievements in the socio -economic fields. Notably, the industrial zones and clusters have been systematically planned, attracting many investment enterprises, creating jobs for tens of thousands of workers. The infrastructure system has been invested in a basically synchronous manner; many high-end resort, tourism and service projects of international and regional scale have been formed.
The new rural development program has achieved many remarkable results with 18 communes meeting new rural standards, 1 commune meeting advanced new rural standards, and 36 model new rural villages. Average income per capita reached over 61 million VND/year. The poverty rate decreased to 1.98%. Education and training quality has been improved with 100% of schools in the area meeting national standards...
Speaking at the ceremony, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Duc Dung called on the entire Thang Binh district to continue to promote the spirit of ingenuity and creativity, indomitable will in combat; diligence and creativity in labor and production. In particular, the district needs to continue the heroic tradition, unite as one, determined to overcome all difficulties and challenges, take advantage of opportunities, and promote the potentials and advantages in the cause of building and developing the homeland.
