September 2 marks the historic day President Ho Chi Minh declared in a speech in Hanoi Vietnam’s independence from Japan and France. Ngày Quốc Khánh, as it’s called in Vietnamese, was a bold move to make in 1945 as politically a lot was still going on in the background regarding Vietnam’s future.

The majority of the Vietnamese I’ve met over the 14 years I’ve lived...
