# Army Slogans poster 221d, flag verse (Vietnamese poster distributed in Saigon)

A Vietnamese-language slogan sheet in brown letterpress type on buff paper, two lines of verse and no picture, from a four-sheet set titled Army Slogans. It urges men to carry out military service (quan dich). The tell is bandwagon: the closing question presses the reader to enlist now, and the flag image in the first line links the call to national symbolism.
