| Half a century has passed since the historic date of April 30, yet the memories of those days when the OVs took to the streets, raised the national flag high, and loudly chanted “Viet Nam - Ho Chi Minh” remain vivid in the hearts of overseas Vietnamese. |
 |
| Holding the special supplement celebrating the country’s grand anniversary, many elderly overseas Vietnamese could not hide their emotions as they recalled their passionate activities in the patriotic movement in France back then: marching in protests, spreading information, organising rallies against the war, and calling on French friends to support peace for Viet Nam. |
