Mission
The Uncle Sam Committee was created by Town Meeting in 1999 to promote the establishment of an official Uncle Sam Day on September 13 to honor Arlington’s famous native Samuel Wilson. Since that time, the Committee has broadened its scope to increase and facilitate the promotion of Arlington as the birthplace of “Uncle Sam” Wilson by active participation in local and national programs and initiatives and partnering with educational, historical, and business associations and institutions.
