The National War Fund, formed in 1943, pooled national service agencies, the USO among them, into one appeal. The National War Fund published this poster for local community campaigns, and President Roosevelt opened the first drive with a radio address on 5 October 1943. The Fund channelled donations from American communities to the USO and to other service and overseas relief agencies. Designer unknown.
On the poster
A navy eagle silhouette spreads its wings against a cream ground, flanked above and below by red bands with three white stars. The eagle grips an anchor in its talons. The lettering splits the appeal in two: "For Our Own" and "For Our Allies."
