3. "Buy war bonds", "Was that trip necessary?" |
|
and some recycling ones, "Grow a Victory Garden", etc.
These were all world war II.
And of course, the stuff asking the people to make actual sacrifices - like not using more gas than they need, recycling all their scrap metal, being careful with tires, food rationing, etc.

4. America, love it or leave it |
|
That was Vietnam.
Are you just asking for war slogans, as opposed to anti-war slogans?

19. "Don't you know there's a war on?" |
|
Edited on Wed Aug-03-05 05:16 PM by CBHagman
They tell me that was a biggie during World War II, along with "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." The emphasis was clearly on sacrifice and frugality. What a contrast to the current approach to war.
On edit: I once worked with an Englishwoman who was a teen/young woman during the '50s, when the British were still rationing everything. She told me it was a big deal to have a new dress. Again, I can't even imagine how most Americans nowadays would respond to that.
I remember that during the '60s some of us kids in elementary school would go about flashing the peace sign and saying, "Peace, brother!" We though we were cool. :eyes:
And Joan Baez STILL cringes about the "Girls say yes to boys who say no" poster. (i.e., conscientious objectors are going to get some) :blush:
