Every nation, every country has its own national flag. Vietnam is an independent, unified and territorial nation. The Vietnamese national flag is the red flag with a yellow star, a symbol of the nation's soul, of the people's hearts, of the spirit of eternal solidarity, of the great family of Vietnamese people, the most sacred symbol, expressing the revolutionary enthusiasm, the heroic sacrifice of all Vietnamese people in the war to repel invaders, regain independence and freedom for the Fatherland. Because of that great significance, the hanging of the national flag is carried out by the army and people in all regions of the country and has become a unique cultural feature of the Vietnamese people. Everyone, every household hangs the national flag to express patriotism, gratitude, pride, and the heroic sacrifice of all Vietnamese people.

The national flag is a symbol of a nation, a sovereign state and a political regime. Any country or nation with its own history and cultural traditions has a national flag as a symbol of the "Sacred Soul of Mountains and Rivers".
