Sheet music for “For the Honor of Uncle Sam,” featuring a drawing of Theodore Roosevelt shaking hands with President Wilson in the presence of Uncle Sam. Below the main figures is a badge with a young soldier gesturing to a sitting, older man. Roosevelt was a proponent of American intervention in World War I and was a persistent critic of Wilson’s inaction. The lyrics are patriotic in nature and have nothing to do with Roosevelt or Wilson.
