# A Warm Welcome for Two Hoi Chanh in Phuoc Tuy District

A landscape sheet of four black-and-white photographs shows two named former Viet Cong officials being greeted by a district chief, reunited with relatives and given food. The text says they returned to the government side in June 1967 and received many foodstuffs after meeting their families. The tell is the picture of reunion and gifts as the visible outcome of rallying, with no mention of what questioning or conditions followed.
