Monday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1943. In honor of Veterans Day, it’s a World War 2 era Navy ad. The tagline, “The Ammunition is being passed,” is a reference to “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition” an patriotic song written by Frank Loesser in 1942. It was a response to the attack on Pearl Harbor that marked American involvement in World War II.

The lyrics to the Loesser are very clever & worth a look at:

I still have the Decca 78 RPM Merry Macs’ version that my mom/dad bought 4-6 yrs before I popped out of the hatch.
