Vietnam // PAVN / Quang Tri 1970
Sub-collection: Captured FlagsVietnam // PAVN / Quang tri - 1970
Little is known about the history of this Vietnamese flag. It was acquired as a GI bringback through private purchase in 2007. It is stated to have been taken in combat near the Demilitarized Zone in August of 1970 by an Australian Training Team member.
However, since President Clinton normalized relations with Vietnam in 1995 there has been a lively trade in all types of war souvenirs, including flags, that all have the look of the pre-1975 items, although made for the Vietnamese war souvenir market. These commemorative NVA and VC flags are currently being made for parades and victory anniversary celebrations in Ho-Chi-Minh City. Presumably for Vietnamese veterans, now growing nostalgic and seeking a memento of service, a unit color or a victory or moral flag.
