Item Description
First is 1.25" w/union back stamp. Drawing a comparison between the role played by France in the Algerian War and the potential US role in Vietnam. The US adopted several military techniques from the French most notably the use of helicopters in ground attacks. Light surface wear and age toning blending into background. VF. Only the second example we have offered. Also included is a 1.5" "Support Your Local Teach In March 25 UCLA" issued by the "Vietnam Day Committee." Blue text is faded w/over 20% of the original strength remaining. Otherwise clean w/full gloss. Fine. Both at rare early artifacts of the anti-Vietnam war movement.
