Vintage 1968 Viet Cong Military Banner – Liberation of Cam Ranh

Description

This is a rare and authentic military banner from the Vietnam War, representing a specific campaign victory by the Viet Cong (National Liberation Front). The banner features a red and blue field with a central yellow star. The embroidered Vietnamese text provides specific historical context:

• On the red field: “LUC LƯỢNG VŨ TRANG GIẢI PHÓNG MIỀN NAM VIỆT NAM,” which translates to “Armed Forces of the Liberation of South Vietnam.”
• On the blue field: “GIẢI PHÓNG CAM RANH 1968,” which translates to “Liberation of Cam Ranh, 1968.”

This banner is a tangible piece of history, commemorating a specific event during the war—the Viet Cong’s operations in and around the crucial American military base at Cam Ranh Bay during the 1968 Tet Offensive. The flag shows some staining and wear appropriate for its age, which adds to its authenticity. This would make an excellent and unique addition to any collection of Vietnam War memorabilia or historical flags and banners.
