# Những người bạn giúp đỡ chúng ta! (Friends Who Help Us!)

A Vietnamese-language sheet (code SP-1448) pairs a photograph of a U.S. Marine standing beside a seated Vietnamese child on a drum marked 'Division Band, Camp Pendleton' with one of a Marine bandaging an elderly man's foot. The text calls the Marines brave fighters against the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong invaders and also gentle friends who help refugees, build schools and treat the sick. Warm personal imagery is attached to the armed force, and the text ties that image to the promise of peace.

NHỮNG NGƯỜI BẠN GIÚP ĐỠ CHÚNG TA !

Những chiến sĩ Thủy Quân Lục Chiến Mỹ, đã từng chiến đấu can đảm chống bọn Cộng Sản xâm lăng Bắc Việt và Việt Cộng, cũng là những người bạn dịu dàng của nhân dân. Họ đã giúp đỡ đồng bào tỵ nạn, hổ trợ công cuộc xây dựng trường học, chữa bệnh người đau ốm.
Họ giúp ta chống lại kẻ thù của xứ sở để chúng ta có thể tìm lại được thanh bình.

FRIENDS WHO HELP US!

The U.S. Marines, who have fought bravely against the invading Communists of North Vietnam and the Viet Cong, are also gentle friends of the people. They have helped refugee compatriots, supported the building of schools and treated the sick.
They help us fight the enemy of the country so that we can find peace again.
