Description
On 19 August 1945 the Viet Minh under Ho Chi Minh (1890-1969) began a rebellion against French colonial rule in Vietnam, called the 'August Revolution'. The ensuing struggle for independence resulted in the Franco-Viet Minh War (1946-54) to continued armed struggle which led to the involvement of the United States and resulted in the 'Vietnam War'.
General Vo Nguyen Giap (born 25 August 1911) was involved in both wars, the first Indochina War including the battle for Dien Bien Phu and the Vietnam War were he was involved in planning the Tet Offensive and Khe Sanh (Lonely Planet, Vietnam, 1995).

Very interesting. Why celebrate 67? Or do they put up a new one every year?

I don't know. I think they may put a new one up every year to keep everyone reminded of the struggle - and victory!

Es ist Advent, die Welt in Stille ~ Hell erleuchtet sind die Fenster Haus und Hof sind zugeschneit Und ein Jeder fühlt im Herzen Ruhe und Besinnlichkeit Verlassen sind die Straßen heute Dunkel ragen Tannen auf Friedlich und von hellem Glanze Liegt pulverweißer Schnee darauf Aus den Häusern, aus den Stuben Hört man friedlichen Gesang Am Himmel strahlen, leuchten Sterne Zu weihnachtlichem, süßen Klang Es ist Advent, die Welt in Stille Es bleibt kein Platz für Traurigkeit Und ein Jeder fühlt im Herzen Freude und Behaglichkeit ~ Quelle: http://www.weihnachtswuensche.com/schoene-adventsgedichte/

When I was a kid, my mother's best friend gave me a book, called 'Dr. Doolittle' and it was about the time of the Franco-Viet Minh War. I will have to find a copy and reread it. Great information Sig!
