Another Patriots’ Day poem, for the fallen and the brave.
South Vietnamese Patriots’ Day is a day to remember those ideals that defined the Republic of Vietnam: courage, sacrifice, loyalty, and devotion to something greater than oneself.
Few figures embody those ideals more clearly than Brigadier General Lê Văn Hưng.
One question we’ve been asked since introducing South Vietnamese Patriots’ Day last year is
“How should I celebrate it?”
The answer is that there is no single right way. South Vietnamese Patriots’ Day emphasizes remembrance, gratitude, and patriotism.
Ways to celebrate include learning about history, praying for veterans, displaying the flag, lighting candles, observing silence, sharing stories, and fostering awareness of this important legacy.
For the second year, we invite Vietnamese Americans and Overseas to celebrate South Vietnamese Patriots’ Day on July 7.
