They didn’t join the Victory Parade yesterday. They were working on a building site. No music, no crowd. Just their tools and a big palm tree nearby.

But they still wanted to show their love for Vanuatu.

So, one of them climbed onto a scaffold and reached out to tie a small Vanuatu flag to the palm tree. His friend held the scaffold steady, helping him stay safe. It was a risky job, but they did it with big smiles and full hearts.

They didn’t do it for attention. They just wanted to see the flag fly high.

This small act shows us something big: You don’t need to be part of a parade to celebrate Independence. You don’t need a uniform to be proud.

Sometimes, real pride is three boys, a flag, and a moment of teamwork that lifts the spirit of a whole country.
