Remember Dec. 7th!" is a color poster by Allen Saalburg, printed in Washington, D.C., in 1942 as OWI Poster No. 14. Its slogan refers to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, the event that brought the United States into World War II. The Office of War Information, created in 1942 to coordinate government messaging on the war, used posters like this one to keep the public mindful of the attack and committed to the war effort. The American flag in the design links that appeal to national resolve, a theme that still shapes how Americans remember the day and those who died in the war.
