# Buy your bonds here. Back the attack! 5th War Loan

Bond-sales counter poster: a Minuteman silhouette stands inside a large letter V, with the Morse 'V' signal (three dots, a dash) beside it and the text '5th War Loan'. Stars scatter around the headline 'BUY YOUR BONDS HERE', closed with 'Back the Attack!'. The tell is the transfer of the Revolutionary-era soldier and the V-for-victory sign onto bond buying.
