Built around the title phrase from George M. Cohan's 1917 song, this U.S. Navy recruiting poster was drawn by illustrator Albert Sterner and printed in color by the American Lithographic Company of New York that same year, when the United States entered the First World War. Navy recruiting drives of the period aimed to expand the fleet quickly, and posters like this one, often displayed in post offices and recruiting stations, were among the most visible tools for drawing young men to enlist. Its large sheet, about 148 by 102 centimeters, reflects how much attention such posters were meant to command.
