of three US medals.

Dong Khoi was a movement led by members of the Viet Minh in South Vietnam from late 1959 to 1960,

who urged people to revolt against the United States and the Republic of Viet Nam. This movement led

to the founding of the South Vietnamese National Liberation Front .

On 8 June 1969 a flag was adopted for the (communist) Republic of South Vietnam: red over blue, a

five-pointed star over all. This became the only flag of South Vietnam from 30 April 1975, when the

anti-communist regime collapsed, until 2 July 1975 when North and South Vietnam were united as the

Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
