Americanism is not, and never was, a matter of race or ancestry. Every loyal American citizen should be given the opportunity to serve this country wherever his skills will make the greatest contribution-whether it be in the ranks of our armed forces, war production, agriculture, government service, or other work essential to the war effort. -The President of the United States, February 3, 1943") promoting the equal rights of all citizens to be hired into the work force, quoting a passage by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and featuring art of a bald eagle carrying an American flag. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
