Rather than showing battle or a single soldier, this poster presents military honors as a reward shared by the men overseas and the families and workers at home. The Liberty Loans were the government's way of financing the war through bonds sold to ordinary citizens, and the catalog dates this color lithograph to 1917, though the Victory Liberty Loan drive of 1919 used similar appeals. Its wide format, about 28 by 54 centimeters, suggests it was meant for public walls, where passersby could take in the message at a glance. The pairing of decorations with bond buying shows how wartime fundraising tied financial support to the honor of those fighting abroad.
