A pinback button for the 50th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor owned by Ck2c George Francis Bland. The round pinback button is primarily white with red, white, blue, and gold graphics and text. Inside the white circle at the center of the button is a waving, red, white, and blue American flag mounted on a gold flagpole. Below is red text that runs along the circle’s bottom edge that reads [KEEP AMERICA ALERT]. Around the center circle is a thick, blue circular band outlined in black. White text printed inside the blue band reads [REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR] at the top, and [1941 50th 1991] at the bottom. A white circular frame that runs around the edges of the pinback button features a gold banner at the bottom center with white text that reads [Anniversary], accented by a row of gold, five-pointed stars that runs around the rest of the white band. The back of the button is a silver tone metal with a silver tone pin. Black text printed along the bottom center edge of the button reads [© 1988 Houston F. James].
