Join the Army/Navy and See the World (continued)

[Barry A. Popik]

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD (continued)

    The Congressional Record might be a good source for regional Armeican
speech--we know exactly who the speakers are and where they're from.  I have
a whole bunch of search terms, starting with "cold war."
   The response I got from my trip to the Library of Congress yesterday was:
"Don't hold your breath for a digital Congressional Record anytime soon."

JOIN THE ARMY/NAVY AND SEE THE WORLD (continued)

     The prints division of the Library of Congress doesn't have a great
selection of 20th century war posters.  I didn't find THE poster.  I was told
to try the National Archives.
     However, it's clear that the concept for "Join the Army/Navy and see the
world" developed during World War I.  Join the army, gets sprayed with
mustard gas, but hey, YOU CAN SEE PARIS!!

1920--"The Field Artillery.  travel, earn learn...adventure and action."
