man that was cool! man dad was in the air force and im so proud of him he is my one and only hero. Its funny he doesn't think that him being in was a big deal..true hero!..happy fathers day dad....
Cool, thanks for posting. The Rockwell ones are my favorites. This one ^ is Canadian, don't see a lot of the Canadian ones anymore. A local Army Surplus that has been around since '52 or so has a 20' tall, 40' long wall just plastered in all the old propagana posters.
I think it was the way they were raised. My Dad joined the Army in late 42 or early 43. He was 17 (I think he lied about his age) and a scout in the Philipine jungles. He said he could smell the enemy and quickly earned the name, Lucky. Only now, at the age of 84 does he talk about it on occasion. Like you, he is my hero!
Excellent !!! We're losing WW II Vets every day now ,,my Dad was on P T Boats in the Pacific in WW II ,,he's 85 now ,and has sum health problems ,,,My Mom worked in the Ammo Factory in Des Moines then ,,i have a box of WW II .45 Cal Ammo that was made & boxed in that factory in '44,,it's still sealed/never opened,, ,,my Mom & Dad just had their 68th anniversery ,, Happy Hero's Day Dad ,,
Those are awesome posters. The messages are the same as we need today. The German poster looks like a He.111 with British markings. Thanks for posting those.
Here is a link where you can purchase many of these posters.. http://www.allposters.com/gallery.a...Field2.x=19&imageField2.y=10&c=c&search=21079

Talked with a friend of mine just yesterday. They were going through his mom's stuff after she went to an assisted living place. His dad was a pilot instructor, killed in a training accident before he was born. Friend and his youngest son opened one of his dad's canvas suitcases that his mom had never opened. Had a leather aviator cap and goggles in it. Last person that touched them was his dad, almost 70 years ago. Some gave all.........Heavy stuff.......slide
Wow, those are awesome posters. Really makes you think about the character of that generation. My grandma was a wild 17-year-old at one point--but by World War II, she was divorced and working in Long Beach as a Rosie the Riveter. Then, after the war, she went on to build several houses--just she and HER dad, who was a carpenter for the phone company. Somehow, our lives today don't seem quite so heroic or writ large. Not sure why that is, because we are currently fighting two foreign wars. I think in part, it's because the way we see ourselves has changed, and become more complex and shaded.
