During the resistance war against the US, the Ke Go lake area was a fierce battlefield. Here, our army has built the Libi battlefield airport and routes 21 and 22 in a secret plan to create a new traffic artery to support the Southern battlefield.
At Libi airport, fierce airstrikes by the US air force took place on the morning of September 2, 1968 and the night of January 7, 1973, killing many soldiers and defense workers and completely destroying Libi Airport.
Peace was restored, in 1976, the State deployed the construction of Ke Go lake project to promote agricultural development. Ke Go Lake has completed and started to accumulate water, the old frontage is gradually sinking into the lake.
In recent years, the search, collection of remains and identification of martyrs' remains have been carried out by the Provincial Military Command in coordination with local authorities. Up to now, a list of 62 martyrs who died in the Ke Go lake area has been temporarily prepared.
In 2011, the Ke Go Nature Reserve Management Board and organizations, units, and philanthropists set up a small shrine to burn incense for the martyrs who sacrificed in the lake.
To pay tribute to the heroic martyrs, VietnamFinance Financial Investment Magazine coordinated with the Ke Go Nature Reserve Management Board to call on sponsors to support the construction of the Heroic Martyrs' Temple at Ke Go Lake.
