To commemorate the day that made modern Vietnamese life possible, the Doodle artwork depicts the Southeast Asian country’s national flag, Google said, noting that on the day sovereignty was secured, the Vietnamese flag was elevated to the status of a national symbol. 

Contemporary celebrations of National Day are characterized by citizens flying the Vietnamese flag outside their homes or taking the day to travel.

Although celebrations are different this year as many honor this day from the comfort of their homes, the message of national solidarity remains an important reminder that the Vietnamese community is stronger together, according Google.
