Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large US for United States.Some government inspectors came to look over Sam's company.
They asked a worker what the US on the boxes stood for.As a joke, the worker answered that these letter stood for the name of his boss, Uncle Sam.
The joke spread, and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle Sam.Before long, people called all things that came from the government "Uncle Sam"."Uncle Sam" became a nickname for the US government.
