These days, it's easy to spot young people wearing Ao Dai and conical hats printed with the red flag and yellow star, draping scarves embroidered with the national flag, or styling their hair with eye-catching red-and-yellow clips as they eagerly check in and take photos. Each small detail carries a deep sense of national pride, reflecting how the younger generation is subtly and gracefully weaving their love for the homeland into everyday life.

Duong Thi Thao Yen, 21, from Bien Hoa Ward, Dong Nai Province, shared: "Wearing the Ao Dai and the scarf embroidered with the red flag and yellow star, I could more deeply feel the sacred meaning of the word 'independence' and a profound gratitude toward the generations who came before us. That's why I wanted to take a beautiful photo series and share it on social media and to spread the message to other young people, so that we always remember our roots."
