When I had a draft card in my wallet during the early 70s, North Vietnam’s President was Ho Chi Minh and a red flag with a yellow star represented the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. They were the enemy. This memorial sits in the Reunification Palace in Ho Chi Minh City, where U.S. helicopters lifted off the roof during the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. It was the end of the Vietnam War during which nearly 60,000 from my generation were killed or missing and another 303,000 were wounded.
