What better way to celebrate our independence than to invite Uncle Sam to the festivities. Uncle Sam is a common national personification of the American government originally used during the War of 1812. Typically he is dressed in clothing that recalls the design elements of the flag of the United States. While the exact image of Uncle Sam has evolved over the years, one thing remains constant, he is a symbol of the best ideals of the United States. From the earliest days until today, he has stood for freedom, equality and justice. While as a nation, we do not always perfectly achieve these ideals, Uncle Sam remains a poignant symbol and reminder of the goal and objective...one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all.
This treasure is dressed in a navy jacket layered with gold weather-worn stars. His red striped pants are repeated on his top hat. He carries rockets, a drum and a reproduction copy of the Constitution. There is no better way to welcome your guests on the Fourth of July than this rendition of Uncle Sam.
