Back to the WWII recruiting posters. An Army one from 1940…
This one was done prior to the war, and was actually done by Major Tom Woodburn who was the editor and art director for Recruiting News (an Army publication I believe).
According to what I could find out, this one was also made into a billboard and distributed pretty widely…
And in a twofer, here is another Woodburn poster…
And a link HERE to ‘part’ of a story in New Yorker Magazine in 1940…
No “Army of One” and no pictures of homosexually paired people joining together? How we have changed from the Greatest Generation.
+1
No blue helmets, either.
LL/WSF- Isn’t it!!!
Ed- Nope, not a single one…
I have to admit I am really enjoying these.
Thank-you
*sigh* We used to have values in this country. We’ve had far too many years with the children running the country.

Indeed. Thank you, Dr. Spock. All your “self esteem” chickens are coming home to roost.
Sorry, don’t mean to go off on a rant here. Really do enjoy the posters, its just sad when you realize how much has just been pissed away since that time. Reagan was right:
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
These are terrific!
Danny/Rick- You’re welcome!
Euripides- True… dammit…
RHT- Can’t disagree… dammit again…
Mrs. C- Thank you!
