" U N C L E SAM'*

Whereas in a world largely hostile to the idea of freedom we must keep alive the cherished values of our way of life; and Whereas at a moment in our history when we need all our sense of purpose and capability to match the challenge of disciplined communism some say that our national symbol of "Uncle Sam" is archaic and should be disowned; and Whereas the symbol of "Uncle Sam" was evoked out of the needs of a young Nation, and is linked to a grassroots character, Samuel Wilson, of Troy, New York, who still represents the strength and idealism that made up the greatest Nation in the world; and Whereas the years 1766 to 1854, the years in which Samuel Wilson lived, witnessed the birth and glorious progress of the United States, spanning as they did the period before the Declaration of Independence to the emergence of the United States as a world power; and Whereas no congressional action has ever been taken to make the symbol of that American tradition, the symbol of "Uncle Sam," official and permanent: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate [the House of Representatives concurring)^ Salute to "Uncle That the Cougress salutes "Uncle Sam" Wilson, of Troy, New York, Sam" Wilson. ^^ ^^^ progeuitor of America's national symbol of "Uncle Sam". Agreed to September 15, 1961. September 15, 1961
