EDITORS COMMENTS
Fire Away! Buy Extra Bonds: A Solemn Plea from the US Treasury Department War Finance Division in Honor of the USS Dorrado Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, the US Treasury Department's War Finance Division issued a poignant call to action through this evocative war bond poster. The image, titled "Fire Away! Buy Extra Bonds," serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the collective responsibility of every American citizen to contribute to the war effort. At the heart of this powerful message lies the tragic story of the USS Dorrado, a submarine that met its unfortunate end off the coast of Panama in 1943. The cause of the disaster was not an enemy attack but rather an incorrect message that was inadvertently relayed to aircraft about the restricted zone for sea vessels. The miscommunication led to friendly fire, resulting in the loss of the submarine and the lives of its brave crew. The graphic design of the poster is both evocative and compelling. A searchlight, symbolizing the spotlight on the importance of the war effort, illuminates the figure of an American sailor, gazing intently at a war bond poster. His determined expression and the caption "Fire Away! Buy Extra Bonds" serve as a clarion call to action, urging citizens to purchase war bonds and contribute to the war effort. This powerful image, a testament to the collective spirit of the American people during wartime, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served in the US military and the crucial role that each citizen played in supporting the war effort. The USS Dorrado and its crew may have been lost, but their memory lives on through images like this one, which continue to inspire and remind us of the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity.
