# Lực Lượng Đại Hàn đánh bại Việt Cộng và giúp đỡ dân chúng (The ROK Forces Want to Defeat the Viet Cong and Help the Vietnamese People)

A Vietnamese-language sheet headed by the claim that Republic of Korea forces defeat the Viet Cong and help the civilians shows Korean soldiers building a medical station, a Korean doctor treating a farmer and soldiers handing out rice sacks. A large photograph shows Korean soldiers planting rice beside Vietnamese farmers, with text saying Korea and Vietnam have 'many similarities' and cooperate closely. Only aid work appears under a headline about defeating the Viet Cong, and shared-kinship wording introduces a foreign force to a local audience.

Translation is FRAME's own literal rendering. 'Đại Hàn' (Great Han) is the Vietnamese name for Korea. 'Dân chưng' is printed so in the headline (for 'dân chúng'); transcribed as printed.
