These promotional campaigns were designed to appeal to a sense of patriotism, encouraging every American citizen to contribute financially to the nation's success in the war. Posters like "America Is Worth Defending!" were created to motivate the public by appealing to their love of country and pride in American values and history.The poster features a patriotic scene that draws upon historical and contemporary imagery to evoke a strong sense of national duty. At the top, the phrase "America Is Worth Defending!" is written in red script, emphasizing the importance of supporting the war effort. The central image is a blend of historical and modern figures marching forward. At the forefront are children dressed in colonial attire, representing the spirit of America's fight for independence and liberty. Behind them are adult figures, including a woman and a man, holding the American flag, signifying the continuity of the American spirit from its founding to the present.The slogan below the image reads, "You Help Your Country When You Help Yourself," connecting the act of buying U.S. Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps with both personal and national benefit. This line suggests that investing in war bonds is not just a selfless act of patriotism but also a wise financial decision. The poster's call to action is explicit: "BUY U.S. DEFENSE SAVINGS BONDS AND STAMPS," encouraging immediate participation. The G-B National Bank, noted at the bottom, is presented as the sponsoring institution, emphasizing the role of local banks in promoting bond sales and their importance in supporting the war economy.This poster, like many others of its time, sought to create a link between the individual citizen's financial contribution and the broader national goal of victory in World War II. It relied on stirring imagery and historical references to draw parallels between the present conflict and the nation's foundational struggles, invoking a sense of duty and pride in supporting the United States.TEXTAmerica Is Worth Defending!You Help Your Country When You Help YourselfBUY U.S. DEFENSE SAVINGS BONDS AND STAMPSThis poster presented in the cause of National Defense by The G-B National Bank Complete Banking ServiceOBJECTSChildren in colonial attire, American flag, adults in historical and modern clothing
