WWI U.S. Army 'I WANT YOU' poster sold for $20K at NYC auction; What does the poster mean to you?

It's history, nostalgia and a reminder of a simpler time when being an American meant something and answering your country's call to duty was expected of everyone.

SGT (Join to see), this was originally published as the cover for the July 6, 1916, issue of Leslie's Weekly with the title "What Are You Doing for Preparedness?" This portrait of "Uncle Sam" went on to become, according to its creator James Montgomery Flagg, "the most famous poster in the world." Over four million copies were printed between 1917 and 1918, as the United States entered World War I and began sending troops and materiel into war zones. Because of its overwhelming popularity, the image was later adapted for use in World War II. Upon presenting President Franklin Delano Roosevelt a copy of the poster, Flagg remarked that he had been his own model for Uncle Sam to save the modeling fee. Interesting that the most famous and widely recognized and accepted depiction of Uncle Sam was the face of the artist!
It's always been my favorite wartime poster, and I had a huge framed copy of it on my wall long before I ever enlisted. LTC Stephen F.
