Today in American Military History -- 1918
Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin hold a major war bond rally on Wall St.
Went with something a little different this morning! Our ability to keep our military and our war-fighting, when necessary, connected to the American public, is critical!
In 1917 and 1918, the United States government issued Liberty Bonds to raise money for its involvement in World War I. An aggressive campaign was created by Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo to popularize the bonds, grounded largely as patriotic appeals. The Treasury Department worked closely with the Committee on Public Information in developing Liberty Bond campaigns. The resulting propaganda messages often borrowed heavily from military colloquial speech.
