Las Américas Unidas para la Victoria y el Progreso Humano [The Americas United for Victory and Human Progress]
A saints'-day calendar border surrounds a painting of a US soldier and a Latin American soldier shaking hands before a globe, with aircraft, guns, a tank and a mother and children below. The banner's virtue words 'Victory' and 'Human Progress' carry the argument (glittering generalities), and the handshake and shared globe merge the two nations into one cause (identity-fusion).
