Army I Want You Shirts

The "Uncle Sam" recruitment poster, created by artist James Montgomery Flagg in 1917, is one of the most iconic images in American history. Featuring a stern-looking, white-bearded figure pointing directly at the viewer with the words "I Want YOU for U.S. Army," the poster was designed to inspire patriotism and encourage enlistment during World War I.

Uncle Sam, personifying the U.S. government, became a symbol of national duty and pride. The poster's powerful and direct appeal resonated with the American public, helping to mobilize millions of men to serve in the armed forces.
