Keep Calm and Carry On motivational poster, and others
« on: March 24, 2023, 07:36:23 AM »
The Keep Calm and Carry On, a motivational poster produced by the Government of the United Kingdom in 1939 in preparation for World War II should be familiar to anyone who hasn't been living under a rock with a dial-up modem. ;) Here's what the original looked like, along with a few of many it inspired. Wikipedia said Keep Calm And Wash Your Hands was posted on video screens around the DC Metro. I tuned it up  like I did the others.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

I made an NRA version of it too. With a color NRA logo, black and white, and inverted black and white, using the minimum amount of ink if you want to print it. All of these posters, except the original 1939 government issue one, are the same size.
