It was in late 1917 Uncle Sam had just returned from a military gathering that included commanders and government representatives. He was whistling the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" as he walked casually but sharply through one of the White House Gardens. He came to a stop as he noticed the US flag waving in the distance. He gave a proud salute and started to move again.

"What to do... What to do..." He walked, staring at the grass while thinking out loud to himself.
