About Uncle Sam: America's Beloved Symbol

Few images say "America" as instantly as Uncle Sam — the lean, stern-eyed figure in a star-spangled top hat, pointing straight ahead with an unshakeable conviction. He rides every Fourth of July parade float and stares from vintage posters with a gaze that has never really aged. Rooted in 19th-century political cartoons and immortalized by James Montgomery Flagg's famous 1917 Army recruiting poster, he remains the country's most recognized patriotic icon.
