Americans! Eyes Open! Mouths Shut!
| Recruitment poster for the U.S. Marines. Poster text reads: "Americans! Eyes Open! Mouths Shut! Help win the war by obeying these rules. Do not repeat any rumors concerning our troops. It is no rumor that, after a long wait, you can now join the U.S. Marines. That's a fact! 20,000 are needed and the recruiting stations are again enlisting Soldiers of the Sea. Men of draft age may enlist, provided they secure certificates from their local Exemption Boards stating that their class and order numbers are so far down that they will not be called to fill the current quota. You may repeat this to your heart's content. It is good news and the enemy will find no comfort in the fact that there are to be more U. S. Marines. The Marine Corps Recruiting Station is at 617 Common Street, New Orleans, La. George Zarrens, Major General Commandant." |
