Killed In Action - Stop...
1970

A vintage poster with a textured background depicting a woman holding a baby on the left, with an American flag overlaying the top left corner. On the right, there is a shadowy imprint of a soldier's helmet and boots, with bullets scattered around. The bottom of the poster features the text "KILLED IN ACTION - STOP.." in bold, capitalized letters. The overall tone of the poster suggests a commentary on the impact of war.
