General Note: An image from Wesley Fishel's photograph collection of a small family of three standing next to their chicken coop. The label on the bottom of the photograph reads, "Dependents of Vietnamese Navy men help raise domestic livestock bred at Operation Helping Hand's distribution centers. Here, near the Cat Lai naval base 12 kilometers east of Saigon, a sailor's wife grins at the thought of all those good chicken dinners to come. (Photo Five, TCB-096, June 1971.)"
