Google doodle today: Vietnam National Day 2016

Crowds gathered in Ba Đình Square on September 2nd, 1945, as revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh, delivered his historic speech to announce Vietnam’s Declaration of Independence from colonial French rule. Every year, Vietnamese people celebrate National Day by displaying the distinctive red and yellow national flag and with colorful patriotic marches and fireworks. Today’s Doodle depicts a lotus, which is Vietnam’s national flower. To many people, including Buddhists, it’s a symbol of perfection and purity. During its flowering season, you can easily spot, and often smell, the colorful blooms on ponds across Vietnam. Much of the plant, such as the stem, seeds, and leaves can be used in cooking, plus some parts are also used for natural remedies. Happy National Day, Vietnam. *** Name of doodle: Vietnam National Day 2016 This doodle was shown: 02.09.2016 Countries, in which doodle was shown: Vietnam Link to doodle image: http://ift.tt/2ccnsFt
