The man was called Uncle Sam Wilson. He was born in Arlington, Massachusetts (马萨 诸塞州), September 13,1766. At the age of 14 Sam joined the American Revolutionary War, and served in the army under George Washington until the end of the war. He then moved to Troy, New York State and began a meat-packing business in the year 1812 war broke out between the United States and Great Britain. (47) . Among them was Governor Daniel Tompkins of New York State. He noticed the capitalized letters EAUS on the packages of meat and asked what they stood for. A workman replied that EA stood for Elbert Anderson, the businessman for whom Sam was working. (48) . In May 1813, this story appeared in a newspaper published in New York. (49) .
By the end of the War of 1812, "Uncle Sam " had come to symbolize (象征)the character of the nation and the government. (50)

B.However, not many people have ever heard of such a man. Not even most young Ameri cans.

D.In 1961 the US Congress(国会) made a decision that "Uncle Sam " is the America’s national symbol.
E.On October 2 that year, a group of visitors came to Sam’s meat-packing plant.
