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

【中文翻译】

在湄公河三角洲，一位越南母亲向美国海军巡逻艇上的一位翻译员恳求：“请救救我的孩子！”这艘在水道上寻找VC船只的巡逻艇在日出（宵禁在7点前结束）后不久就拦住了她的舢板。船员们既没找到VC也没有发现走私品，就用船上的急救箱尽他们所能治疗她生病的孩子，然后继续前行。
