Original caption: "Saigon - Bonds of Friendship - Air Force Lieutenant Everett S. Martin Jr., 25, (left) holds the Sea Swallow battle standard of Binh Hung which was presented to him when he became the first person from Newburyport, Mass., to visit the hamlet, the sister-city of the New England town. Martin presented Newburyport's Homecoming Flag to Father Nguyen Quang Huan, religious leader of the hamlet, and Vietnamese Army Major Nong Viet Ngoc, battalion commander of the Vietnamese regional forces. The two flags are flown over the hamlet." An American soldier and a Vietnamese soldier stand together holding up flags. They are standing in a village with villagers, children, nuns, and a catholic priest standing behind them.
