Let's go! U.S. Marines" is a color recruiting poster, catalogued with a tentative date of 1941 or 1942, that calls on young men to enlist with a direct, urgent appeal. The United States was expanding its armed forces in the years before and just after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the Marine Corps, which needed men quickly for combat and island operations, relied on posters like this one to fill its ranks. Its short slogan and bold imagery reflect the wartime style of the period, when posters were meant to be read at a glance on streets, in post offices and at train stations.
