rick i love this post but it saddens me deeply as hollywood no longer shows this support. there are many actors that i will no longer watch because of their remarks and actions. i wish they would just act and leave the politicalness to the politicians. i had forgotten a lot of these posters. thanks for the reminder!

good collection of the period. i was always fond of the rosie the riveter poster. but the loose lips sink ships one....i can also remember my grandfather (a ww2 navy vet) using the "loose lips sink ships" phrase when he meant to keep a secret.
Funny, how things don't change all that much in spite of the fact that we think we're all in the year 2008. Not so much, really.
Bee- I know JUST what you mean and totally agree. There are quite a few that I literally can't stand to even hear speak because of their views.
The one I remember the most was not so much the Poster Art Work, but the "saying". Loose Lips Sink Ships....It was one that stuck in the miknd because it was a warning of sorts, and you didn't want to be resposible for something really bad gappening to our troops!
"Keep Them Flying" was another one I remember well, I think because they even made a movie using that slogan. Great idea, Rick!
Thanks so much for the Visit and your very sweet comment. Sometimes I look at those pictures now and think....Who was that girl??
I feel like I hadn't quite grown into myself yet....lol!
Some very fine art work.
If course being a woman i do love the last one.
I love this post rick, it reminds me so much of my uncle who is a war vet. nice tribute
Such a lot of posters! I really like the one with the woman showing her muscle! LOL!
"Man the Guns" talk about a gun show- wow he has some nice guns for sure.
Hey there,
Thanks for stopping by my site. I've had a long break being busy with life but I'm feeling it again.
As for the posters I like the last one because it looks like she's flippin off the world.

Good Sunday morning to you, Rick. Came by to visit and say hello - and thank you for leaving the nice comment on my blog.
I like war art much better than I like the war itself :)
Great posters !
Great collection - We've added a link at Sid in the City [http://sidinthecity.blogspot.com/]
I also like the last entry, WE CAN DO IT ladies!
Irony being that while the Nazis had their own propaganda to further their evil interests, we as well had our own to unite the country into fighting them and the Japanese.
