Children shielding themselves behind a large American flag is a striking image, and the title's line, "Nor shall their story be forgotten," tells viewers that the picture is meant to memorialize as well as to inspire. Patriotic images of young people paired with the flag were common in American wartime and relief campaigns, when artists and publishers often used children to stand for the nation's future and the stakes of conflict. The phrase in the title suggests a message about remembrance, asking viewers to consider who bears the cost of war and to keep those lives in mind.
