# Các bạn đang làm gì ở đây? (What Are You Doing Here?), leaflet ATF-041-70

Single-sheet text leaflet in calligraphic lettering, with a green 'Family Reunion' triangle and a Chieu Hoi shield. Five rhetorical questions ask whether the reader is helping his family by being there, whether they eat well and feel happy because of his presence. The tell: questions with an assumed answer, aimed at his family obligations.
