Victory Day is a common name of many different public holidays in various countries to commemorate victories in important battles or wars in the countries' history.
This national holiday was established to commemorate the end of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979.
April 30 is an annual holiday in Vietnam to commemorate the fall of Saigon in 1975 at the end of the Vietnam War. It is commonly known as Victory Day (Ngày Chiến thắng), Reunification Day (Ngày Thống nhất), or Liberation Day (Ngày Giải phóng).
In Vietnam, May 9, 1954 marks the victory of Vietnam over French forces at the battle of Dien Bien Phu. This victory ended 80 years of French colonization and began the time of independence for Vietnam.
Victory Day marks the end of World War II in Europe, specifically the capitulation of Nazi forces to the Allies (the United Kingdom, Soviet Union, France, the United States and other principal Allied nations) on May 8, 1945. The British Channel Islands were not liberated from German Occupation until May 9 (Jersey and Guernsey), May 10 (Sark), and May 16 (Alderney).
Prussian blue is a dark blue pigment with the idealized formula Fe7(CN)18. Another name for the color Prussian blue is Berlin blue or, in painting, Parisian blue. Turnbull's blue is the same substance but is made from different reagents.
Prussian blue was one of the first synthetic pigments. It is employed as a very fine colloidal dispersion, as the compound itself is not soluble in water. It is famously complex, owing to the presence of variable amounts of other ions and the sensitive dependence of its appearance on the size of the colloidal particles formed when it is made. The pigment is used in paints, and it is the traditional "blue" in blueprints.
In medicine, Prussian blue is used as an antidote for certain kinds of heavy metal poisoning (caesium and thallium).
Prussian blue lent its name to prussic acid, which was derived from it, and to ferrocyanide (originally meaning "blue compound of iron", from Latin ferrum and Greek κυανεος). As ferrocyanide is made of iron and CN ligands, reinterpreting the component "-cyanide" in the compound word, produced the word "cyanide" for compounds containing the CN radical.
She's got her reasons, she's got her pride
Though she's beaten black and blue
One fine day she'll be walking outside
She'll turn to see what is true
Won't draw no curtains, be hiding no way
On that Victory Day
She's stuck it out, she's hung in tough
She won't be running away
He says it will change, but each time it does
It starts up all over again
He wants the thunder, the crashing of waves
The guts, the glory of victory parades
She says it just never happens that way
On that Victory Day
Victory Day, Victory Day
There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display
If you walk with me we'll get there someway
On that Victory Day
In the sun, walk by the water, in the sun
She says life isn't big, not it's kind of small
Made of small moments, they're all strung together
If you don't look out, you might miss them all
Then it's just passed you on by like the weather
He wants that thunder and crashing of waves
The guts, the glory of victory parades
She says I'll give you much more than you'll take
On that Victory Day
Victory Day, Victory Day
There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display
If you walk with me we'll get there someway
On that Victory Day
And he's gotten so close and he won't let it fade
And the reasons still haunt you for the mistakes you made
She says let it go, 'cause it's time for a change
But he's still a little boy trapped between pages
Time to walk away from him
She said "I'll take you some place where I know it will change"
Victory Day, Victory Day
There's no rockets flaring, there's no loud display
If you walk with me we'll get there someway
On that Victory Day, on that Victory Day
Well sit down and listen to what I have to say
Soon will come a great war, a bloody but holy day
And after that purging our people will be free
And sing up in the bright skies, a sun for all to see…
Times are very tough now, for a proud white man to live
And although it may appear that this world has no life to
give
Times are soon changing, this can’t go on for long
And on that joyful summer’s day, we’ll sing our victory
song…
Ref: And the women they’ll smile on victory day
And the children will laugh, and they’ll sing and
They’ll play
And the forests will echoe our grace
For the brand new dawn of our race…
You are my brother and in war we proudly sing
Our cause shall never tire, our gift to you we bring
A holy creed of racial purpose, a mighty race to defend
And when we fly our holy flag their oppressive reign
shall end…
And when we finally conquer, our people will be free
And all across this great land, the bold truth we shall
So as we march together, to avoid catastrophe
