    There were two large letters "U" and "S" stamped on the boxes of meat which
went to the army. The abbreviation meant: "for the United States," One day some
government inspectors arrived. They asked a worker what the "U.S." meant. As a
joke, the worker answered that these letters were the first letters of his boss's name.
Uncle Sam. That joke was a great success, and became very popular in the Army. The
soldiers began to say that their food was sent by Uncle Sam. "Uncle Sam" became a
symbol of the
    U.S. government. Soon there were drawings of Uncle Sam in newspapers the
world over. The most famous picture dates back to the period of World War 1. In the
picture Uncle Sam was saying to men: "I want you for the U.S. Army!"
