September 2nd is celebrated as Vietnam's Independence Day. In 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam independent under the new name of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV) in a speech on the same day that Japan formally surrendered in World War II.
It is a day of rememberance and celebration, and I purchased a traditional ao dai for Allison to wear to the school assembly.
