I bought a 2015 Calendar of World War I and II posters and it is hanging beside the bar at Margaritaville.
It is published by Zebra Publishing.
"Inexpensive, accessible, and ever-present, the poster has been an ideal agent for making war aims the personal mission of every American. American government agencies, businesses and private organizations have historically issued posters linking the military front with the home front -- calling upon every citizen to boost production at work and home.
"These posters help tell the story of allies mobilizing human and natural resources by uniting the power of art with the power of advertising.
"The National Museum of American History holds a vast collection of military posters. Collectively, these 'pictures of persuasion' offer a wealth of art, history, design, and popular culture for us to understand. Throughout their history, posters have been a significant means of mass communication, often with striking visual effect."

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.
