Your Country Needs You

World War I Recruitment poster for the U.S. Navy; printed in red and blue on white board; text at top reads: "'You[r] [Coun]try Needs You'" Underneath is a drawing of a sailor giving a salute with the Statue of Liberty in the background, signed "Rolf Armstrong 1916" on the bottom right. The text of the poster continues with "JOIN THE NAVY! We have ships but we need men. We did not start this fight but we are going to help finish it. You are a man, not according to what you say, but what you do. We must fight this war, not lying down but standing up. Don't wait for the next man to make up his mind - enlist Now!" A text box on the bottom right reads "U.S. Navy Recruiting Station 34 East 23rd Street, N.Y. City."
