The central slogan says the day 'expresses the indomitable will and invincible strength' of the Republic of Vietnam. Pageantry, numbered photo captions and a single unifying slogan present state and people as one body. ## Propaganda techniques used in this poster [Glittering generalities](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/glittering-generalities/) [Identity fusion](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/identity-fusion/) ## Text on the object Original (Vietnamese) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` QUỐC KHÁNH 1965 TOÀN DÂN HÂN HOAN MỪNG NGÀY KỶ NIỆM ĐỆ NHỊ CHU NIÊN CÁCH MẠNG 1-11 NÓI LÊN Ý CHÍ BẤT KHUẤT VÀ LỰC LƯỢNG VÔ ĐỊCH CỦA VIỆT NAM CỘNG HÒA. 1.
