Patriots’ Day #1: July 7, 2025
On July 7, we remember the heroes of South Vietnam—soldiers, leaders, and citizens—who gave everything for freedom. Patriots’ Day is a promise to honor their sacrifice, protect their legacy, and keep the spirit of a free Vietnam alive, wherever we may be.
The Battle of Hoàng Sa is important, not just because it was another instance of South Vietnam warriors sacrificing against communism. It is important because it was a moment when South Vietnam fearlessly went to war with China.
The Battle of Saigon, a pivotal clash during the 1968 Tet Offensive, showcased the unwavering courage and unity of South Vietnamese and U.S. forces. Their decisive victory over the communist attackers stands as a proud testament to their sacrifice and dedication in defending freedom.
July 7 marks the day President Thiệu knelt in prayer at An Lộc, honoring all South Vietnamese soldiers who sacrificed for freedom—there and beyond. Join us in making this Patriots’ Day, a time to remember, unite, and carry their legacy forward.

The phrase “Next Year in Jerusalem” carried the Jewish people through centuries of exile, keeping alive their dream of freedom and return. In that same spirit, the words “Next Year in Saigon” echo the hopes of the Free Vietnamese people who lost their homeland on April 30, 1975. It is more than a wish — it is a vow. A vow to honor our past, unite our diaspora, and one day bring freedom back to the Vietnamese homeland.
