This poster was issued by the U.S. Treasury Department in 1942 to help sell bonds to fund World War II. It features an American Flag and a quote from Pres. Roosevelt. A very small Minuteman statue is to the left of the quotation.

This scan includes part of a background mat with the original archived copy that shows a date stamp reading "August 10, 1942".
