The designs are vivid and dynamic with the images of a white dove flying, a soldier carrying a rifle and marching among liberation forces, a national flag waving on the roof of the Reunification Palace, two children—representing the North and South of Vietnam, the Thong Nhat (Reunification) Train—the North-South railway line, President Ho Chi Minh waving his hand in greeting, and the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee headquarters.

The stamp collection conveys a profound message to today's and future generations, always remembering and preserving the sacred values of peace, independence, national pride, and love for the homeland, which are the sources of strength to build a prosperous and civilized Vietnam.
