During the resistance war against the US, from 1964 to 1975, to avoid the enemy's attacks and sweeps, the army and people of Sung Nhon chose Lo O Hill as their resistance base. Lo O Hill resistance base was closely associated with the revolutionary struggle, reflecting the indomitable will of our army and people in the resistance war against the US to save the country, in the fierce hardships and difficulties of bombs and bullets of war, but they still remained determined to build the base to become the rear providing human and material resources to serve the resistance. During the revolutionary activities in the base area from 1964 to 1975, facing many difficulties and challenges full of dangers of bombs and bullets of war, the army and people of Sung Nhon still united to overcome difficulties, stayed on the land and village, maintained production, cared for wounded soldiers, transported wounded, and worked as civilians to transport goods to serve the resistance.
