Cùng hợp tác bảo vệ nhân dân (Working Together to Defend the People)
A photograph shows uniformed Vietnamese and American officers saluting side by side at an outdoor ceremony, above a purple text panel. The text says that in Quang Ngai and Quang Tin the 'free forces' have cooperated closely against 'the Viet Cong gang and their masters from the North', and that civilians and Vietnamese, Korean and American soldiers share one aim of defeating the enemy to bring peace. The sheet pairs a unity image with a loaded label for the opponent.

Translation is FRAME's own literal rendering. 'Bọn' is a pejorative collective ('gang', 'band') and is kept as 'gang'; 'quan thầy' is rendered 'masters'; 'Đại Hàn' is Korea (South Korea).
