The poster features a stylized image of Nathan Hale, an American Revolutionary War soldier, against a dark background. He is depicted standing with his hands reaching out, wearing a yellow waistcoat and white shirt. Two five-pointed stars are visible in the top corners of the poster. Below the image, a quote from Hale appears: "I ONLY REGRET THAT I HAVE BUT ONE LIFE TO LOSE FOR MY COUNTRY," attributed to Nathan Hale - 1776. Below this, the poster reads, "Patriots died for the principles that gave us our freedom. Let us live for those same principles."
