Featured Quote.................................................... 

"The Star-Spangled Banner isn't the only patriotic icon that dates to the War of 1812. It's believed that 'Uncle Sam' does, too. In Troy, New York, a military supplier named Sam Wilson packed meat rations in barrels labeled U.S. According to local lore, a soldier was told the initials stood for 'Uncle Sam' Wilson, who was feeding the army. The name endured as shorthand for the U.S. government. However, the image of Uncle Sam as a white-bearded recruiter didn't appear for another century, during World War I."
