US Governors Visit People of Binh-Thuan Province [![US Governors Visit People of Binh-Thuan Province, 1965 US poster: A blue-and-white photo sheet headed 'Governors](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/images/us-governors-visit-binh-thuan-1965-1969.jpg)](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/images/us-governors-visit-binh-thuan-1965-1969.jpg) # US Governors Visit People of Binh-Thuan Province A blue-and-white photo sheet headed 'Governors of the American states visit the people of Binh Thuan province' shows four scenes: Michigan's governor shaking hands with South Vietnamese soldiers, the province chief and delegation at a repaired bridge, Wyoming's governor with ralliers, and officials among sacks of American-marked food aid. The closing line says the two nations' 'sympathy' in the face of the Communist threat brings great hope. The tell is borrowed standing: visiting American officials appear beside local troops and aid, so their presence endorses the Saigon side. ## Propaganda techniques used in this poster [Transfer](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/transfer/) [Card stacking](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/card-stacking/) ## Text on the object Original (Vietnamese) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` Thống-Đốc các tiểu-bang Mỹ-quốc viếng thăm dân chúng tỉnh BÌNH-THUẬN Ông Tỉnh Trưởng cùng Phái Đoàn đã đến xem chiếc cầu bị V.C. phá đã được sửa chữa tại Phú-Long.
