Recruiting The Troops Since 1813 The history of Uncle Sam can trace its roots all the way back to 1813, when a man names Samuel Wilson provided the American troops in his area with the meat they needed to stay strong enough to repel the British during the War of 1812. From that day to this one, the red, while and blue-festooned figure of Uncle Sam has been rallying the patriotism of the American People and recruiting troops to help defend our freedom. You see that showing through with star spangled glory with this elaborate Uncle Sam Costume. I Want You! Uncle Sam has had a few catch phrases over the year to help draw in the troops. Though the only thing that has always remained constant has been the festive red, while a blue attire, festooned with the stars of democratic freedom. That’s what you get and more with this Uncle Sam costume. It comes with jacket with attached vest, red necktie, pants and hat. Collared shirt, and shoes not included. Wig and chin patch sold separately. You can get it in adult medium, large and extra-large sizes.
