Kilroy Was Here is the iconic graffiti of WWII! It instantly describes the courage and humor of the “Greatest Generation”!
Kilroy led or participated in every combat, training or occupation operation during WWII & the Korean War. He could always be depended on. GI's began to consider him the "super GI." He always got there first and SURVIVED - an enduring comfort! This simple graffiti captured the imagination of GI's everywhere they went. The scribbled cartoon face and words showed up everywhere - worldwide.
He is still with GIs in The Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq.(documented.)
The “Greatest” and the “Silent” (Korean War) generations are almost gone. Estimates — as much as 2000 per day are departing. Help us get the last and lasting tribute before they are gone.
