# Họ đến để giúp đỡ chúng ta (They Come to Help Us)

A Vietnamese-language photo sheet (code SP-1593) says that besides fighting alongside Republic of Vietnam forces, the 'Allied forces' give medicine, food, clothing and aid for schools, orphanages and dispensaries. Four photographs show a Korean medical specialist, a U.S. 25th Division civil-affairs medical team member, a soldier handing out gifts in Long An province, and stacked books. The sheet shows only aid; the technique is card-stacking by selection of one kind of contact.
