National Anthem Of South Vietnam
The National Anthem of the Republic of Vietnam (Tiếng Gọi Công Dân) originally the "Thanh Niên Hành Khúc" (English: March of the Youths), was the national anthem of South Vietnam, from 1948 to 1975.
The anthem was written and composed by Lưu Hữu Phước (1921-1989). Phước was a well-known Vietnamese musician and songwriter, and a communist. The song was later modified with the name changed to "Tiếng Gọi Công Dân" (English: "Call to the Citizens"), and became the official national anthem of the Republic of Vietnam. The Song is still sung by the Vietnamese people living in the United States (and other countries where Vietnamese refugees consequently resided after the war) as the Anthem of Free Vietnam.

“Humanism, it seems, is almost impossible in America where material progress is part of the national romance whereas in Europe such progress is relished because it feels nice.”
—Paul West (b. 1930)
“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Above all, Vietnam was a war that asked everything of a few and nothing of most in America.”
—Myra MacPherson, U.S. author. Long Time Passing: Vietnam and the Haunted Generation, epilogue (1984)
