The first poster for January in my 2015 Military Posters calendar is from World War II and features a whole bunch of cannons pointing and firing skyward with the flags of the Allies: U.K., U.S. China, Soviet Union, Australia, Mexico and others. Lots of color and the words "United We Are Strong" at the top and "United We Will Win" at the bottom.
Text reads: "United We Are Strong, Henry Koerner, Office of War Information, 1943.
"Henry Koerner escaped from Austria in 1938 after it was annexed by Germany. Soon after his arrival in the United States, Koerner began his career as an artist for the United States government creating numerous posters for the war effort."

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
