VISUAL ACTIVITY Returning Veterans and Work After the war, the federal government promoted returning veterans for employment. This poster reminds prospective employers of the U.S. Marines’ accomplishments in France by listing their battles—Cantigny, Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel, Argonne, Marne. But the government had little to offer veterans beyond posters. Library of Congress. READING THE IMAGE: What relationship does the poster assume exists between fighting in France and employment in America? CONNECTIONS: Why did the government believe it needed actively to promote veterans for jobs back home?
