I'd be surprised if one hadn't been made for a Diocese somewhere already.
I have a I Want You poster with B16.

I also have "Recruiting posters for the Church Militant"

Having a poster is one thing; joining up is another. Let's see how many of you do so...
Michael: Perhaps you should be the first to join?
Anna Marie, I should have mentioned that I served in the U.S. Navy for five years (including the last four years of the Vietnam War) and proudly received an honorable discharge as a Catholic conscientious objector, following several visits to Nagasaki. Patriotic talk is cheap; walking the walk...including out the door, in good conscience, is another thing.
Michael, I've never heard of that, a serving soldier/sailor being honorably discharged as a C.O. Can you point us to something that verifies/explains that process?
Yes, Ed, you can check the applicable directives in both the Department of Defense and the respective services. Since my own discharge in 1976, I have helped several other active duty servicemen obtain C.O. discharges, and in two cases, had the assistance of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA. I am currently the Director of the Office for Catholic Social Teaching in the Archdiocese of Detroit, and regularly visit Sacred Heart Major Seminary for various meetings; I'd be happy to meet you and tell you more about this!

Interesting. Do stop by!
I'm flattered that you want us to join up, but we mostly can't. We're old middle-aged people.
But thanks for telling us we don't look our age. :)
