# Wear Your Honor Button: 4th Liberty Loan Bonds

A round emblem shows a flag with four vertical bars and the words 'Fourth Liberty Loan' above a call to wear the honor button and buy 4th Liberty Loan Bonds. The button works as a visible badge, so that buying is made publicly signalled and its absence noticeable.
