The poster reads, "Stop The Bombing Of El Salvador/"At first the Air Force dropped bombs that knocked down trees and houses, killed people, and made 3-meter craters. Then they began to drop bombs that exploded before hitting the ground and others that made craters 8 meters deep to kill us as we hid in our shelters. Now they use the worst bombs of all--the flaming liquid [napalm phosphorus] -a refugee as told to the Christian Science Monitor."
