# Ủng hộ Chính phủ do Tổng thống Nguyễn Văn Thiệu lãnh đạo (Support the Government Led by President Nguyen Van Thieu): curfew leaflet, 1968

Line drawing of President Nguyen Van Thieu in a suit and tie in the foreground, with a striped national banner over his shoulder and a column of helmeted soldiers and conical-hatted civilians marching behind him. The text asks all to unite 'unanimously' behind his government and to obey the curfew. The tell: a marching column stands in for popular unanimity (bandwagon), and the banner and the troops are tied to his portrait (transfer).
