# Hồi Chánh Viên Phùng Xuân Hồ (Returnee Phung Xuan Ho), Chieu Hoi leaflet ATF-092-71

Two-sided leaflet. One side shows a man standing in a field under the words 'Returnee' and his name beside a Chieu Hoi emblem; the other is a signed, dated handwritten letter saying he rallied at 6 a.m. on 1 March 1971, was welcomed, that life with the Viet Cong meant too little food, clothing and medicine, and that wives and children are waiting. The tell: a named, pictured village official gives a dated first-hand account and ends with a family appeal.

[Side 2, handwritten]
Tôi là Phùng Xuân Hồ, tổ trưởng nông hội ấp 1 xã Bình Châu.
Tôi ra hồi chánh vào lúc 6 giờ sáng 1-3-71, tại Cầu Dài được đơn vị quân đội đón tiếp tử tế, được chính phủ đối đãi tử tế.
Sống với Việt Cộng bị đói khổ, cơm không có ăn, áo không có mặc, đau bệnh không thuốc men.
Với các anh còn lạc ở trong rừng, hãy mau mau ra hồi chánh để được Chánh phủ Việt Nam Cộng Hòa đảm bảo đời sống của chúng ta.
Vợ con các anh đang chờ đợi các anh về sớm chừng nào tốt chừng đó.
Thân mến
2-3-71
Phùng Xuân Hồ

[Side 2, handwritten]
I am Phung Xuan Ho, farmers' association team leader of Hamlet 1, Binh Chau village.
I rallied at 6 a.m. on 1-3-71, at Cau Dai, where I was received kindly by a military unit and treated kindly by the government.
Living with the Viet Cong meant suffering hunger: no rice to eat, no clothes to wear, no medicine when ill.
To you who are still lost in the forest, hurry and rally so that the Government of the Republic of Vietnam can guarantee our lives.
Your wives and children are waiting for you; the sooner you return the better.
Warm regards
2-3-71
Phung Xuan Ho
