About this postcard

A waving American flag on a gold-tasseled pole is draped across an outline map of the continental United States, with the states lightly delineated and a few areas tinted yellow and pink against a pale blue ground. The printed title reads "The Land and Flag that I Love," a patriotic sentiment typical of the World War II era. Such map-and-flag designs were popular home-front greetings celebrating national unity.
