The Office of War Information (OWI) was a US government agency established in 1942 to create propaganda in order to shore up support for WWII on the home front. It used various media including posters, radio, newsreels, movies, and pamphlets in its work, and often invoked the attack on Pearl Harbor. The OWI encouraged Americans to live responsibly, focus on war production, buy war bonds, and be careful of enemy spies.

This poster was created by artist Bernard Perlin in 1943 and commissioned by the OWI. It shows Revolutionary War soldiers on the left with US Army soldiers from the Second World War marching past on the right, with the message "American will always fight for liberty."

Text on poster: "Americans will always fight for liberty 1778 1943"; "B. Perlin"; "OWI Poster No. 26" "Additional copies may be obtained upon request from the Division of Public Inquiries, Office of War Information, Washington, D.C." "U.S. Government Printing Office : 1943 - O - 502684".
