These patriotic crew socks are based on a rather dramatic rendition of a bald eagle in flight on a United States-issued World War II propaganda poster. The poster's mission was to encourage workers on the home front to keep up production and production quality for the war effort, to "KEEP 'EM FLYING." These are super fun when the eagle looks back at you while wearing them, yet they bear a deeper message. A scan of the poster can be found among the product images. Poster is not included.

These patriotic, made-in-the-U.S.A. crew socks are perfect for anyone who wants to show their love for their country in a stylish way. They would make a great gift for a family member or friend who appreciates American history, fashion, or simply likes to make a statement with their accessories.

During World War I and II, many branches of the federal government used posters to urge Americans to support the war effort. In a time without radio, TV, or the Internet, posters were an inexpensive way to deliver powerful messages to millions of people. The government hired well-known artists to create designs that unified the American people. Posters continued to be published throughout World War II, and new posters are still in production to this day. The National Archives holds close to 20,000 posters produced by military and civilian agencies.
