Enlist Expect Fighters Telling Savers
EDITORS COMMENTS
I Am Telling You: On June 28th, I Expect You to Enlist - A Call to Action from Uncle Sam This powerful and iconic poster, created in 1918, features Uncle Sam making a direct appeal to the American people. With a stern expression and his fists on his hips, he commands the viewer's attention. The date "June 28th" is prominently displayed, and the text below reads, "I Expect You to Enlist in the Army of War Savers to Back Up My Army of Fighters." At the time, the United States was deeply involved in World War I, and the government was urging citizens to do their part in supporting the war effort. The "Army of War Savers" referred to citizens who were saving money and resources to support the war effort at home, while the "Army of Fighters" were those who were enlisting to fight abroad. Uncle Sam, a symbol of American patriotism and authority, was an effective and recognizable figure to use in this recruitment campaign. His stern gaze and commanding presence conveyed the urgency and importance of the cause. The use of the phrase "I am telling you" added a sense of urgency and personal responsibility, making it clear that this was not just a suggestion, but an expectation. This poster is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and commitment required during times of war. It also highlights the important role that citizens can play in supporting their country, whether through direct action or by contributing resources. The image of Uncle Sam continues to be a powerful symbol of American patriotism and determination, and this poster remains an iconic representation of the spirit of the times.
