The term "hard hat" historically referred to blue-collar workers, often members of unions, who supported the Vietnam War and opposed the antiwar protests of the 1960s and 70s. Therefore, it can be inferred that the individuals in this image, who are wearing hard hats and carrying American flags, are likely pro-war union members.
