| Description | Cartoon shows Uncle Sam laying a Memorial Day wreath on a large tomb bearing an inscription from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address reading, "That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Behind him in the cemetery lie tombstones labeled "France," "Greece," "Belgium," "Poland," "Holland," "Denmark," "Yugoslavia," "Norway," and "Checho-Slovakia." The tombstones represent the countries overrun by Germany. In May 1941, the United States had not joined World War II, but Berryman suggests that the American people are committed to taking all steps short of war to support the Allies in opposing Hitler. |
