Old Soldiers Never Die, Young Ones Do
1968

A vintage-style poster with a blue marbled background and a bright yellow border. In the center, there's a yellow oval with the profile of a soldier wearing a military cap. The words "OLD SOLDIERS NEVER DIE" arch over the soldier's image in bold, decorative letters. Below the oval, a stylized American flag design accompanies the text "young ones do..." in lowercase letters. The overall design evokes a sense of patriotism and nostalgia.
