Nêu cao ý chí bất khuất (Uphold the Unyielding Will), Sacred Sword of the Patriots League leaflet with Le Loi
Leaflet in Vietnamese with a drawn portrait of an armed man in a headband and armour, mountains and horsemen behind him; the label inside the drawing names him Le Loi. The slogan below calls on readers to uphold the unyielding will of the Lac-Hong lineage in the work of destroying communism and saving the nation. The tell: the 15th-century hero who drove out Ming China is borrowed to endorse an anti-communist appeal issued under an invented league's name.

Text on the object
NÊU CAO Ý CHÍ BẤT KHUẤT CỦA GIỐNG GIÒNG LẠC-HỒNG TRONG CÔNG TÁC DIỆT CỘNG CỨU NƯỚC. [label inside drawing, partly illegible: ... LÊ LỢI] [small print at right: N-221(?)]
UPHOLD THE UNYIELDING WILL OF THE LAC-HONG LINEAGE IN THE WORK OF DESTROYING COMMUNISM AND SAVING THE NATION. [label inside drawing, partly illegible: ... LE LOI] [small print at right: N-221(?)]
'Giống giòng' (race, lineage) read from a 250 px image; the second word is uncertain. The label and the serial mark are small and only partly legible. 'Lạc-Hồng' is a traditional name for the Vietnamese people's mythic descent. Translation is FRAME's own literal rendering, machine-assisted and not verified by a fluent reader.
