There were also various other "Victory" banners for those who supported the war effort but did not have a family member in service.

Can you tell me what the Victory banners look like, the colors and wording? I am going to try to make my own yard sign as I cannot find one to order. Thanks

I have tons of Victory items from WWII, including banners, posters, drinking glasses, even a cheese box! They are all red, white, and blue in some variation. They don't always say "Victory"...many just use the letter "V" and/or its morse code equivalent "..._"

Several also incorporate a message besides the "V" or "Victory", such as "Remember Pearl Harbor" or "Keep 'Em Flying". Maybe you could incorporate "Remember 9-11" in some way.

There is one banner that could be used today, just as easily as then. It has a large "V" in the center, the words "For Victory" arching across the top, the American flag displayed vertically on the left side, and the British flag displayed vertically on the right.

Another is shaped like an upside down triangle. It is white with red trim, with a large blue "v". In the center of the "v" is a red heart. Across the top it says "Our heart is in Victory".

Yet another, has the US Flag superimposed over a large "V", with the words "We can..we will..we must" across the bottom.

I have a set of drinking glasses that have the "V" with scantily clad pinup girls dressed as nurses, air raid wardens, etc. But, you probably don't want to stop traffic..LOL!!

Hope this helped a little! Let me know if you need more info...maybe I could find some pictures someplace for you. BTW, the "peace sign" the hippies use is actually the "Victory" sign from WWII. I laugh every time I see them!
