Chúng tôi đã rời bỏ hàng ngũ V.C... Các bạn còn chần chờ gì nữa? (We Left the VC Ranks... What Are You Still Waiting For?)
A 1967 Chieu Hoi poster (code SP-1805) prints 96 passport-style photographs of named ralliers, each with village, district, former role (most are village guerrillas) and the date they rallied, mostly January and February 1967. The headline reads: 'We have left the ranks of the V.C. to return to the national just cause in the "Reunion Spring" campaign. What are you still waiting for?' The faces vouch; the grid of 96 says others have already gone.

Text on the object
CHÚNG TÔI ĐÃ RỜI BỎ HÀNG NGŨ V.C TRỞ VỀ với CHÁNH NGHĨA QUỐC GIA TRONG CHIẾN DỊCH "XUÂN ĐOÀN TỤ". CÁC BẠN CÒN CHẦN CHỜ GÌ NỮA? [96 passport-style photographs below the headline, each captioned in small print with the rallier's name, home village/district, former Viet Cong role, and 'Hồi Chánh' (rallied) date, e.g. first photo: "Tôn. V. A / Hậu-Mỹ, Cái-Bè / T/V Du kích ấp / Hồi Chánh 1/2/67"] SP-1805 [code, bottom right]
WE HAVE LEFT THE RANKS OF THE V.C. TO RETURN to the NATIONAL JUST CAUSE IN THE "REUNION SPRING" CAMPAIGN. WHAT ARE YOU STILL WAITING FOR? [96 passport-style photographs below the headline, each captioned with the rallier's name, home village/district, former Viet Cong role, and rally date, e.g. first photo: "Ton V.A / Hau-My, Cai-Be / village guerrilla / Rallied 1/2/67"] SP-1805 [code, bottom right]
The 96 individual photo captions are legible when zoomed in and follow a consistent name/village/district/role/date format, but were not each transcribed here given their number; one representative example is given verbatim above. NARA's own English title for this item differs slightly in wording from this literal translation of the Vietnamese (see the entry's notes field).
