Unlike posters aimed at a single branch, this sheet asks the viewer to join the Army, Navy, and Marines all at once, with the American flag as a unifying symbol. The United States entered World War I in April 1917, and the federal government and private groups produced large numbers of color lithograph posters to fill the ranks of the regular services during the following months. Posters like this one were pasted in post offices, storefronts, and enlistment offices, where they competed for attention with many other appeals. The piece is held in the Willard and Dorothy Straight Collection, which preserves a range of American wartime graphic art.
