Go Fly A Kite 4

Red text on a white background, with a red checkerboard pattern on the outer edge.

During World War II, U.S. soldiers experienced extreme hardship, physically and emotionally, resulting in desired moments of joy and distraction. The catchphrase, "Go Fly a Kite" first emerged in the 1940's to deter any unwelcomed presence for those who want to be alone. These patriotic checkered buttons were produced to lighten the moods throughout the war. The collection's color scheme and checkerboard style were a way to express gratitude, yet it consisted of borderline risque catchphrases and humorous taglines, providing light-hearted amusement for those who wore these pins.
