Chieu Hoi Nationwide Rewards Program, 1969 US poster: A text-led Chieu Hoi poster in red, blue and white says the government

Chieu Hoi Nationwide Rewards Program (Đồng bào có thể được chính phủ tưởng thưởng)

A text-led Chieu Hoi poster in red, blue and white says the government has postponed the end of its special Chieu Hoi emulation rewards campaign, which was due on 31 January 1969, for an indefinite period. Cash rewards will continue for citizens who help persuade Viet Cong soldiers and cadres to rally. A shield emblem with a dove and a flame sits beside the offer; the tell is the money incentive addressed to the public rather than to fighters.

COMPATRIOTS CAN BE REWARDED BY THE GOVERNMENT

Because the special Chieu Hoi emulation rewards campaign has brought many fine results, the government has decided to postpone the end date of the campaign (31-1-1969) to an indefinite time.

Cash rewards will continue to be given to citizens who deserve credit for making contact and persuading communist soldiers and cadres to return [rally].
