# Những người bạn Mỹ đến Long-An để giúp đỡ và bảo vệ đồng bào (Americans Come to Long An to Help and Protect the People. Friendship Leads to Cooperation and Cooperation Will Lead to Victory)

A pink-toned horizontal sheet shows a large photograph of a helmeted U.S. sergeant and an elderly Vietnamese farmer facing each other with palms pressed together, and two smaller photographs of U.S. and Vietnamese soldiers smiling and a U.S. soldier handing something to a ring of children. The text says Americans come to Long An to help and protect the people and that friendship leads to cooperation and cooperation to victory. The tell is the chain of warm abstractions ('friendship', 'cooperation', 'victory') attached to everyday contact scenes.

```
THE AMERICAN FRIENDS
COME TO LONG-AN
TO HELP AND
PROTECT THE COMPATRIOTS [fellow countrymen]

FRIENDSHIP LEADS TO COOPERATION! COOPERATION LEADS TO VICTORY!

SP-1485

Translation is FRAME's own literal rendering. 'Đồng bào' is rendered 'compatriots'; it literally means those of the same womb or nation.
