A poster from 1917. WWI was still in the future.

Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.
When patriotism was something to be celebrated.
When soldiers who survived to be old men were respected, and families of the fallen were hallowed.
When Navy sailors still learned to shoot and handle rifles. (The man with the rifle on the far right is in U.S. Navy dress whites.)
When the flag had 48 stars, and artists had enough pride in their work to individually draw every one of them.
As the saying goes, the past is another country. They do things differently there.
