# Hoạt động của những bác sĩ Hoa Kỳ tại Bình Long (Activities of the American Doctors in Binh Long)

A Vietnamese-language sheet (code SP-1408) shows three photographs of U.S. Army doctors examining Vietnamese children and a wounded limb at the Binh Long provincial hospital, with a text block describing them as serving 'for lofty ideals and humanity' despite hardship. A child's quoted line, 'I came to see the doctor. I am not afraid!', and a closing line about patients helped by one doctor's tireless service carry the message. Selected scenes of care and a lofty-values claim stand in for the whole American presence.

ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN DOCTORS IN BINH LONG

For lofty ideals and for humanity, they came from the other side of the globe, [bringing] prosperity and peace, to serve here in conditions of scarcity. Yet they are always cheerful, [gracious] and patient. Their non-profit activities have a reputation across the province. They are members of the American medical team serving in Binh Long.

"I came to see the doctor. I am not afraid at all!"

How many patients have been helped thanks to this doctor's tireless spirit of service.
