This lithograph sets the Army, Navy and Marine Corps side by side on one sheet, and its title, "Uphold our honor--Fight for us," asks viewers to defend the country as a joint cause. Printed in New York by the Hegeman Printing Company in 1917, it appeared soon after the United States entered the First World War in April of that year, when recruiting posters were produced in large numbers. The American flag is among its featured subjects, a reminder of how these posters linked military service to national honor. The print is part of the Willard and Dorothy Straight Collection, a group of wartime material held by the Library of Congress.
