"Reveille / We ho to war for many previous things...but first of all for freedom that we prize, and we will guard with fighting ships and wings, this girl who lives beneath Hawaiian skies; and he who struck behind a peaceful word, will find the Eagle swoops to stalk its prey...America has wakened and is stirred! America is on the march today!"
A blonde hula dancer poses topless next to a poem by Phil Stack about defending the United States--specifically Hawaii--during war. While this Varga Girl is most likely not a native Hawaiian, the sentiment was still there.
