Vietnamese Woman at Border, Vietnam, 1968
"'Please help my baby!' a Vietnamese mother pleads with an interpreter aboard a U.S. Navy patrol boat in the delta. The patrol, seeking VC craft on the waterways, had stopped her sampan shortly after sunup—before the 7 a.m. curfew ended. Finding neither VC nor contraband, the sailors helped her sick child as much as they could from the vessel's first-aid kit and moved on."

—From "Mekong: River of Terror and Hope," December 1968, National Geographic magazine

【中文翻譯】

在湄公河三角洲，一位越南母親向美國海軍巡邏艇上的一位翻譯員懇求：“請救救我的孩子！”這艘在水道上尋找VC船只的巡邏艇在日出（宵禁在7點前結束）后不久就攔住了她的舢板。船員們既沒找到VC也沒有發現走私品，就用船上的急救箱盡他們所能治療她生病的孩子，然后繼續前行。
