在1917年与1918年之间，这张海报共影印了超过4百万份。这个图像在第二次世界大战期间也被广泛运用。你可能看过一个搭配这张海报的标题：「我要你添加美国陆军」，用来招收军人。你知道真的有一个山姆大叔吗？在1961年时，国会同意用在1812年战争期间提供肉食给军队的肉贩萨慕尔．威尔逊 (Samuel
Wilson，1766-1854) 的名字，当成山姆大叔的名字。人们都认为威尔逊对国家很效忠、是一个很可靠、很诚实、又公正的人。
More than 4 million copies of the poster were printed between 1917 and 1918. The image was also used extensively in World War II. You may have seen it with the caption, "I Want You for U.S. Army," used for recruiting soldiers. Did you know there really was an Uncle Sam? In 1961, Congress recognized meat packer Samuel Wilson (1766-1854), who supplied meat to the Army during the War of 1812, as Uncle Sam's namesake. People said Wilson was fair, reliable, honest, and devoted to his country.
