The poster addresses "America's honored war dead" directly, urging viewers to live by the principle they died protecting: individual liberty and opportunity. Dated to about 1943, when the United States was fully engaged in World War II, it was issued by the Think American Institute and printed by Kelly-Read & Co. of Rochester, New York, with the design credited to C.R. Miller. Its flags and bugles draw on the conventions of wartime commemoration, turning remembrance of the fallen into a call for continued effort on the home front. Patriotic campaigns like this one were a common way to keep public support for the war visible.
