An American Message to All Who Love Freedom (Burmese-language poster distributed in Burma)
A Burmese-language sheet with a red border and blue panel. Fireworks burst over the Washington Monument above the lit White House, a boxed paragraph of Burmese text sits at centre, and a man in a suit speaks at microphones at lower right. Under NARA's title, the sheet offers an 'American message' addressed to those who love freedom. The tell is glittering-generalities, with transfer from national landmarks and a leader's image.
