- "You know, for the longest time, I dreamed about coming overseas and being on the front lines, serving my country. I finally got everything I wanted, and I'm wearing tights."

Steve Rogers drawing in his sketchbook
Put on the front lines of war bond sales by Senator Brandt, Steve Rogers performed Captain America's USO Show around the United States and overseas on the Western Front of Europe. Even though Brandt assured Rogers he was helping the war effort by doing his show, Rogers felt like he could be doing more. These feelings manifested in his sketchbook, in which he kept drawings of how he felt like a circus act. These drawings included him preforming circus tricks while in his uniform with his shield as well as a drawing of him as a dancing monkey on a unicycle holding his USO Shield. The sketchbook also included a drawing of Italy, where he wished he could be fighting on the front lines.[1]
Remembering the Past[]
Steve Rogers watching United Nations news footage in Avengers Compound
Having dedicated his life to the role of Captain America, Steve Rogers kept the sketchbook and the drawings as a reminder of his past struggles. When he lived at the Avengers Compound, Rogers kept the framed page of himself as the dancing monkey on his desk. It remained there until 2016, when Rogers watched news footage of T'Chaka speaking at the United Nations on the events of the Attack in Lagos.[2]
