vocabulary problem

Hello everybody,
I �m working on propaganda posters and I �m wondering what I should call the short sentence on the poster. For example "I want you for the US Army!"
Can I say it �s a "caption"? is it simply a message, a sentence, or is there a more appropriate word?
thanks for your help.

 I would call it "a historical motto". |

I would say you could call it a patriotic caption.

The text/caption on Maryse �s original (based on the British �Kitchener � poster) is definitely a propaganda message-cum-slogan (from sluagh-ghairm : �war cry � in Sc. Gaelic) but the modern variations (as in frenchfrog �s) are what would now be considered memes. |
