On September 2nd, 78 years ago, at Ba Dinh Square, the red flag with a yellow star fluttered on the stage, marking an important historical milestone of the nation, officially making our country an independent and free country. The bright red national flag with a sparkling yellow star is not only a symbol of patriotism and pride, but also urges each person to strive to build our country more decent and beautiful. That image is even more meaningful, valuable and proud in the island and border areas of the Fatherland. 
With a special location - the border junction, for many years, officers, soldiers and people in the area have always attached great importance to the image of the flag, as a way to affirm national sovereignty. Every time preparing for Tet, celebrating major holidays, especially National Day September 2, at the border guard unit in the border area, soldiers simultaneously hang flags and perform flag-saluting activities. Historical pages all show that the red flag with a five-pointed yellow star first appeared in the Southern uprising in the early 40s of the 20th century. Throughout the history of resistance, building and defending the Fatherland, to this day, the red flag with a yellow star is still leading the way, encouraging the belief for the country to enter a period of renewal, reaching prosperity and happiness for all people. The proud national flag flying over the border not only affirms national sovereignty but also arouses patriotism, the spirit of solidarity among ethnic groups, and together builds a more decent and beautiful country as wished by President Ho Chi Minh.In 2024, the Photo and Video Contest "Happy Vietnam - Happy Vietnam" continues to be organized by the Ministry of Information and Communications in coordination with the Vietnam Association of Photographic Artists on the website https://happy.vietnam.vn for all Vietnamese citizens and foreigners aged 15 and over.
