# Remember Pearl Harbor. Enlist Now! United States Coast Guard

Three bombs fall diagonally across a dark blue field beneath the script 'Remember Pearl Harbor'; below are 'Enlist now!' and a panel reading 'United States Coast Guard.' The falling bombs stage the 7 December 1941 raid as a threat still overhead, with enlistment as the single prescribed response. The poster names no enemy and draws no people.
