Cả hai đồng một nụ cười tin tưởng! (Both Have the Same Confident Smile)
A tall narrow sheet shows a smiling U.S. serviceman with a Vietnamese boy in a hat sitting on his shoulders, above a four-line slogan in maroon capitals. The name tape reads 'YANCE[Y]' and the sleeve 'USA[F]'. The tell is the paired smiles: the child's trust is presented as the soldier's, and the soldier is shown as an ordinary, friendly man rather than as a combatant.
