This button refers to a speech given by Richard Nixon on October 9, 1968 while he was campaigning for the 1968 US presidential election. In this speech, he famously stated, “Any man who has had a chance for four years and could not produce peace, should not be given another chance.” As Nixon did not end the war in his first term, the phrase “Remember October 9th” became a major rallying slogan for Vietnam War protesters in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

This button is most likely related to the trend during the 1960s to make school lunches more nutritious and provide better sustenance for children. The federal National School Lunch Program was first established by President Harry Truman in 1946 as the foundation for good nutritional health among children in the U.S. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Child Nutrition Act which established the School Breakfast Program as an extension to the National School Lunch Program. Then, in 1968, Congress created the Child Nutrition Act, which helped increase meals served to needy students. The Act also created the Summer Food Service Program.

United Airlines is a major airline headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. It is considered the world's largest airline in terms of passenger miles flown. The United "U" logo, pictured on this button, is known as the "tulip". It was developed in the early seventies and was used in different variations up until 2012. The logo was changed to a blue globe after United merged with Continental airlines. The post-merger logo change was heavily criticized by marketing experts and designers, who state that it has weaker brand recognition than the "tulip" logo.

Mightly Mouse was a superhero character created by Terrytoons studio and it appeared in short theatrical cartoon films produced between 1942 and 1961 which were later shown on CBS television in the US. Mighty Mouse was first drawn wearing a blue costume with red trunks and a red cape but this later changed to a yellow costume with red trunks and a red cape.  Like Superman, Mighty Mouse's powers included flight, super strength, and invulnerability.

Pearl Pureheart was Mighty Mouse's love interest in the cartoons. Both characters, along with their arch nemesis Oil Can Harry, often sing mock-opera songs in the show, with Mighty Mouse singing tenor, Pearl soprano and Oil Can Harry bass-baritone.
