A sailor and a piece of artillery share the frame in this recruiting poster, the pairing that sets it apart from other wartime enlistment images. Printed in color by the Kemper-Thomas Company of Cincinnati around 1943, it belongs to the wave of posters that urged Americans to join the armed forces during the middle years of the war, when the services were expanding quickly. Its title, "A message from America," presents enlistment as a national call rather than a local one. The artist, credited as Hayden, worked in the bold, quickly readable style typical of commercial lithography of the period.
