A Vietnamese man who was seriously injured in the Tet Offensive by the People's Army of North Vietnam (PAVN) and Viet Cong (VC) in District 8, a Saigon suburb, was supported and medevaced by soldiers of the Army of the Republic of Southern Vietnam (ARVN) and a civilian Vietnamese.

 　　　In the Vietnam War, the Tet Offensive broke out on January 30, 1968 in District 8 on the outskirts of Saigon, a patriotic and active unit of the Republic of South Vietnam. A South Vietnamese Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) soldier and a civilian Vietnamese provided physical support and emergency medical care to a Vietnamese man who was seriously wounded in the Tet Offensive by the People's Army of North Vietnam (PAVN) and the Viet Cong (VC). The area was reclaimed from a swamp and built with the assistance of the U.S. military. It was an area of patriotism and activity for the Republic of South Vietnam until the Tet Offensive began.

　Beginning January 1, 1968, attacks on U.S. military bases by the North Vietnamese People's Army and the Viet Cong broke out in the Vietnam War. The Pope's declaration broke the armistice agreed to by all sides, and the Tet Offensive by the North Vietnamese People's Army and the Viet Cong broke out on January 30.

　The Tet Offensive, as envisioned by the Hanoi authorities of the Democratic Republic of North Vietnam, did not result in an uprising by the South Vietnamese population. The North Vietnamese People's Army and the Viet Cong in the entire southern region from Hue to the Mekong Delta conducted the first armed offensive of the Vietnam War. In less than a month of the Tet Offensive, more than 4,000 South Vietnamese Republican Army and U.S. troops were killed in action, and more than 2,100 U.S. troops were killed in action. The North Vietnamese People's Army and the Viet Cong suffered devastating losses, with nearly 37,000 killed. In the Vietnam War, the Viet Cong were never again able to fight with a united force after the Tet Offensive. The situation was not conveyed to the U.S. mainland, and the North Vietnamese suffered a propaganda victory.

　In 1968, President Johnson authorized an increase in the number of U.S. troops stationed in Vietnam to 549,500, the largest number of U.S. troops in Vietnam, and the number of U.S. soldiers reached its peak. 1968 was the most costly year for the U.S. military and its allies, spending $77.4 billion on the Vietnam War. The Republic of South Vietnam Army suffered 27,915 deaths, while the U.S. Army suffered 16,592 deaths. The North Vietnamese People's Army and the Viet Cong lost about 200,000 killed. The deadliest day per day in the Vietnam War for U.S. forces was January 31, when the Tet Offensive broke out, with 246 American soldiers killed in action.
