"United We Are Strong-- United We Will Win."
This is the poster for January featuring a painting of around twenty huge cannons pointing skyward and firing with the flags of Denmark, U.K., U.S., China, Soviet Union, Australia and other Allies.
Made by 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.

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.
