Translation on the rear of the card says 'VIETCONG ! THIS IS A SYMBOL OF DEATH ! ' 'CONTINUE YOUR STRUGGLE AGAINST THE NATIONAL CAUSE AND YOU WILL SURELY DIE A MOURNFUL DEATH !' Similar cards were also made famous in the movie Apocolypse Now! If you were in a line unit.particularly in the Corps, you know what we did with these cards. These cards were shipped home along with my other war booty after I was hospitalized in Oct 1969. BUY FROM A COMBAT VET AND AVOID THE FAKES! I served just short of a combat tour with A 1/1 1st Mar Div before being hospitalized.
