Peace USA '76 Mug

The V sign is a hand gesture in which the index and middle fingers are raised and parted to make a V shape while the other fingers are clenched. It has various meanings, depending on the circumstances and how it is presented. It came to fame with widespread use as a victory sign ("V for Victory"), with the back of the hand toward the signer. It was introduced in January 1941 as part of a campaign by the Allies of World War II. During the Vietnam War, the "V sign" was widely adopted by the counterculture as a symbol of peace. This design comes from America's 1976 Bicentennial and features the classic peace sign overlaid with the American flag.
