The South Vietnam Flag defines many people, it gives them a sense of purpose and patriotism. Since the downfall of the country to Communism, the country has now been recognised as the country with the yellow star upon red. This petition aims to recreate a sense of hope in the Vietnamese that are lost in hope. The yellow flag with three red stripes is not just a symbol of who they are, but it identifies them as in traditional terms, "the people with red blood and yellow skin."

Accepting the Vietnamese Communist Flag is directly accepting that there is no hope for the people that are in seek of their own old home. Everywhere, we can now see the well known Vietnamese Freedom Flag in countries like The United States of America and Australia. But those still suppressed in the nation of Vietnam are being abused and threatened for their actions to promote their belief that the flag should be returned. It is simply not just a flag, but a symbol of the sacrifice of the blood-spread veterans that died to protect their beloved country.

I myself, a 16-year-old Vietnamese Australian-born male, have always been taught the yellow flag with three red horizontal stripes is a symbol of love, freedom and hope. It was not until I was exposed to school that I learned that this was not the current nation's flag. It is a deep yearning in me to return the flag to its original state and pay respects to those that fought to keep my family's country in peace and harmony. Although this is merely a petition to add the emoji of this flag online, I hope that in the future many will see the history of this great nation and assist in the return of this symbol to the official country's flag.
