The National Anthem of the Republic of Vietnam, also known as Tiếng Gọi Công Dân and "Thanh Niên Hành Khúc" (English: March of the Youths), was the national anthem of South Vietnam, from 1948 to 1975.
The anthem were written and composed by Lưu Hữu Phước, who lived from 1921 to 1989. Phước was a well-known Vietnamese musician and songwriter. 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.
