"History Of Our Flag" Vietnam War Marine Corps Poster (1973)

This 1973 poster provides a historical overview of the United States Marine Corps, which was formed in 1775 during the American Revolution. During the Vietnam War, it was presumably employed as a recruitment tool, with the American flag artfully presented against a backdrop of the various banners utilized throughout the nation's history. Renowned for their tremendous grit and endurance, Marines are typically the first to participate in any military operation, traversing both land and sea.

There is a stamp on the back of the poster reads: G.I. East Area Vice Commd't Department of New York Marine Corps League. The stamp does not bleed through to the front.
