# U.S. Army Safety Program: Make haste safely

Emblem-style poster: a golden eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, its shield lettered 'U.S. Army Safety Program', a 'Universal Safety' cross badge above, and three banners naming home, highway and plant. The technique is transfer: the national seal lends authority to a safety message. No victim or threat is pictured.
