I found this online:

The Garland City Council will host a reception honoring members of Garland's Vietnamese-American community, prior to the Regular Council Meeting. During that meeting the City Council will vote on a resolution to recognize the flag of the former Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), known as the Heritage Freedom Flag of Vietnamese-Americans, as the official symbol of the Vietnamese-American Community.

Garland is home to a large population of Vietnamese-Americans, who have made positive contributions to the City through their cultural contributions, business establishments, and active citizenship. The Heritage Freedom Flag has a long history in Vietnam and is a symbol of liberty, resilience, and equality. Those who escaped a region torn by retribution and persecution brought this flag to the United States.

I posted this in 2004 here at FR:

My town of Garland, Texas--suburb of Dallas--officially recognizes the South Vietnamese flag. We have a Vietnamese community center that recently hosted a reunion of South Vietnamese vets and American vets of the Vietnam war. I wish I could have gone to thank both groups for their service.
