The banner features a red-and-white field with a separately sewn cloth star and the Vietnamese inscription:
“QUYẾT TÂM ĐÁNH THẮNG GIẶC MỸ XÂM LƯỢC”
An English translation is:
“Determined to defeat the American aggressors.”
The banner is additionally embroidered/marked “1968”, making it a particularly evocative Vietnam War-era textile from one of the most significant years of the conflict.
This appears to be a communist Vietnamese propaganda or commemorative banner associated with the wartime North Vietnamese/Viet Cong forces. I have not found documentation proving that it was used by a specific NVA or Viet Cong unit, so it is being described conservatively rather than as a documented captured unit flag.
