From 2002 onward, the lobbying efforts of Vietnamese Americans resulted in the state governments of Virginia, Hawaii, Georgia, Colorado, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma,[9] Louisiana,[19] Ohio,[20] California,[21] Missouri,[22] Pennsylvania,[23] and Michigan[24] recognizing it as the symbol of the Vietnamese American Community. Also, at least 15 counties and 85 cities in 20 states have also adopted similar resolutions.[16][17] From 2015 onward in Australia, the City Councils of Maribyrnong,[25] Greater Dandenong,[26] Yarra,[27] Fairfield,[28] Port Adelaide Enfield,[29] and Brimbank,[30] respectively, have passed motions recognizing the "Co Vang" Vietnamese Heritage Flag.
