# GVN Serving the People in Vinh Long

A horizontal photo-sheet (code SP-1474) headed 'The Vinh Long government serves the compatriots' shows a U.S. military medical worker examining children, clothes handed out to children, a hamlet fortified with wire and watchtowers, and an information cadre with a loudspeaker in a boat. The text credits the government, with allied help, with defeating the Communist invasion while pushing rural development. Aid, defence works and loudspeaker messaging share one frame.
