# I'm proud of you folks too!

Navy war-production poster: a smiling sailor in dress blues shakes hands with a welder, while a woman in a headscarf and apron holding a wrench looks on, a lathe in the foreground, under the headline 'I'm proud of you folks too!'. The serviceman's praise turns factory work into a share of the fighting (transfer), in a general appeal to pride with no specific request.
