"The posters featured in this calendar are from the National Museum of American History's Archives Center. War posters can be found in the Warshaw Collection of Business Americana and the Princeton University Poster Collection.
"Created by Isadore Warshaw, the Warshaw Collection of Business Americana was donated to the museum in two parts in 1968 and 1972. The posters represent only a small portion of the significant collection of ephemera.
The Princeton Posters were donated by the university in the 1960s.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
