Lutamos pela Liberdade de Todos [We fight for the freedom of all]
A blue profile in a helmet scattered with stars, trailed by red and white stripes, sits over the Portuguese slogan 'Lutamos pela liberdade de todos'. The tell: the abstract virtue word 'liberty' is the whole argument (glittering generalities), and the stars and stripes are attached to the helmeted figure to carry the flag's standing onto the war effort (transfer).
