Cờ Vàng Ba Sọc Đỏ - THE FLAG REMAINS — Yellow Flag, Three Red Stripes (Vietlondon Music)

 


Grandfather… tell us again." Yellow Flag, Three Red Stripes

This is a song about memory. About a flag that fell but never disappeared. About soldiers who died for freedom. About a grandfather who carried the yellow flag with three red stripes through fire, across the ocean, and into the hands of children who still remember.

This flag — born in 1948, lowered in 1975 — has no country today. But it has a people.

The Vietnamese diaspora flies this flag from California to Paris, from Sydney to Oslo. We do not use the current flag of Vietnam. We find it offensive. Instead, we fly the yellow flag with three red stripes — our heritage, our freedom, our promise to return one day.

But we also say thank you.

To the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand — you gave our families shelter when we had none. We will never forget that.

This song is for every grandfather who carried the flag. Every child who will carry it next. And every country that let us stand up again.

Children of Heroes – The Legacy of April (Lyric Video)

This lyric video is a tribute to the memories, sacrifices, and enduring spirit connected to April 30, 1975. Through music and words, we remember a generation shaped by loss, resilience, and hope — those who stood, those who fled, and those who carried their homeland in their hearts across oceans and time.

“Children of Heroes” honors the voices that were never fully heard, the stories passed down 

through families, and the quiet strength that lives on today.


Walk On – Memorial Anthem | Tưởng Niệm 30/4/1975




Những Người Không Đến Được Bờ - The Ones Who Didn't Land



A Memorial for the Vietnamese Boat People Who Died at Sea — 1975–1995

Tưởng Niệm Những Người Việt Tị Nạn Đã Chết Trên Biển — 1975–1995

Between 1975 and 1995, an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 Vietnamese boat people died at sea on Biển 

Đông — the East Sea. They fled war, persecution, and poverty. They sailed in wooden boats no larger 

than fishing vessels. They faced pirates, storms, starvation, and drowning.

Some saw the lights of refugee camps. Some saw land. Some died within sight of shore — ninety 

percent of drowning happens within sight of land.

"I wrote this with a dried, broken heart. The tears were already cried by the ocean. Remember me as the 

one who sang for the ones who didn't land.  "

This song is for the ones who didn't land.

It is for the mothers who held their babies up one second — then a wave.

It is for the fathers who tied their sons to splintered wood.

It is for the teenage girl from Bến Tre who sang her little brother's song for thirty hours — then 

whispered, "Má, I'm tired now," and let go.

It is for every child who slipped beneath the wave without a name.

And it is for their grandchildren — who finally stand on freedom ground.

You are the shore they died reaching for. Live like it.

A voice from the shore they died reaching for. Vietlondon@Music
