US Army World War I recruiting poster by James Montgomery Flagg, with the phrase "I want you for U.S. Army," used the familiar figure of "Uncle Sam". This became the most famous and, even today still used recruiting poster by the US Army. There is a blank space below the printed phrase "Nearest recruiting station" for adding the address for enlisting. From April 1917 to autumn of 1918 more than four million pieces of it were printed. This print was probably made in 1975.
