Uncle Sam "We Want You!" Poster - Iconic American Recruitment Image #1822323 (License: Personal Use)

Created by James Montgomery Flagg in 1917 for the U.S. Army during World War I, this iconic image features Uncle Sam in a stars-and-stripes top hat, stern gaze, and outstretched finger, accompanied by the bold slogan “WE WANT YOU!” It was later reused in WWII and remains one of the most recognized propaganda images in history. The design was inspired by a British Lord Kitchener poster but adapted to distinctly American symbolism.
