# Người Đại Hàn đã đến để phục vụ! (Koreans Have Come to Serve!)

A photo poster (code SP-1821) presents the Korean military medical team in Binh Tuy province: a nurse smiling at a child patient, surgeons operating, a doctor examining a child held by its mother, and a nurse tending a bedridden patient. The text says the team of 3 doctors and 14 nurses gave care to thousands and that Korean soldiers had defeated the Viet Cong many times at the front. Only service and warmth are shown; every image is of care, and the sheet names no cost or friction.

KOREANS HAVE COME TO SERVE!

Among the bloc of allied nations helping the Republic of Vietnam fight Communist aggression, Korea has contributed a great deal. At the front the Korean soldier has defeated the Viet Cong many times, and in the rear the Korean medical and social teams have helped the people in the work of building a new life.
In Binh Tuy province the Korean medical team, made up of 3 doctors and 14 nurses, has worked without pause treating and preventing disease. Thanks to their efforts, thousands of people have enjoyed a cheerful, healthy life.

Here is a loving smile and a trusting smile.

Examining patients carefully, the Korean doctors have helped the people of Binh Tuy a great deal.

The team's doctors serve devotedly. They are operating on a patient.

At the hospital the Korean nurses care for the patients with devotion.
