As Américas Unidas para a Vitória e o Progresso [The Americas United for Victory and Progress]
A calendar poster shows a US soldier and a Latin American soldier shaking hands before a globe, with a mother and children between them and aircraft, guns and a tank behind, inside a border of saints keyed to the months. The banner 'The Americas united for victory and progress' is a virtue slogan, and the handshake and the shared saints' calendar fuse the two armies and the peoples into one.
