The flag of Vietnam, also known as the red flag with yellow star. The red symbolises the revolution and the blood shed in the struggle for independence. The five-pointed yellow star represents the unity of workers, peasants, intellectuals, traders and soldiers in building socialism 08.04.09 © 2009 Didier Ruef
