WHO IS "UNCLE SAM"?

Good Morning World!

Are you ready for Cookie and Krumbs Question of the Day (a day late for Memorial Day?)

WHO CREATED THE IMAGE OF THE UNITED STATES AS “UNCLE SAM?”

You know “Uncle Sam,” right?  The image of “Uncle Sam” has been used to describe the United States since 1812.  You can see an image of “Uncle Sam” right here:

 

Now, if you’re wondering who created “Uncle Sam”, how it started and what it means, you can check out the Imagination-Café’s “Weekly Special” section.  Annie Laura Smith’s article, “WHY WAS THE UNITED STATES NICKNAMED UNCLE SAM?” will tell you everything you need to know about this great image of America.  Check it out by clicking here.

Did you celebrate Memorial Day?  Krumbs and I had a fantastic picnic at the softball field after watching the Memorial Day Parade…and it was awesome.  We ate vegetarian hot dogs, meat-filled hamburgers, coleslaw, corn on the cob and strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream for dessert.  Who could ask for anything more than good food, great softball and a parade?

Whatever you did and however you spent your day, we hope you had a great one!  Check back with us later this week for more fun, and cool information.
