Question: What was the occupation of the man who is commemorated by the Uncle Sam Memorial Statue ?
Context: The Special Warfare Memorial Statue — known informally as Bronze Bruce — was the first Vietnam Memorial in the United States.  It was created in 1968 by sculptor Donald De Lue (1897-1988) and dedicated on November 19, 1969.  The statue is the centerpiece of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command’s Memorial Plaza at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and is symbolic of all the command’s soldiers.  A Special Forces soldier was chosen as the model for the statue since nearly all Army special operations soldiers killed in Vietnam were "Green Berets." The block statue is a type of memorial statue that first emerged in the Middle Kingdom of Ancient Egypt.  The block statue grew in popularity in the New Kingdom and the Third Intermediate Period, and by the Late Period, this type of statue was the most common.  These statues were used in temples typically as funerary monuments of non-royal yet important individuals.  According to primary sources from the New Kingdom, the posture of the statue was possibly intended to resemble a guardian seated in the gateway of a temple.  In addition, their simple shape provided ample flat surfaces for inscriptions of offerings and invocations. Uncle Sam is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.  Based on the national personification of the United States, Uncle Sam, the character first appeared in "National Comics" #1 (July, 1940) and was created by Will Eisner. Samuel Wilson (September 13, 1766 – July 31, 1854) was a meat packer from Troy, New York whose name is purportedly the source of the personification of the United States known as "Uncle Sam". Uncle Sam (initials U.S.) is a common national personification of the American government or the United States in general that, according to legend, came into use during the War of 1812 and was supposedly named for Samuel Wilson.  The actual origin is obscure.  Since the early 19th century, Uncle Sam has been a popular symbol of the US government in American culture and a manifestation of patriotic emotion.  While the figure of Uncle Sam represents specifically the government, the goddess Columbia represents the United States as a nation. In 1879,during an international fad for attempting long voyages in tiny vessels, 40-year-old Captain Lewis Gerhardt Goldsmith, a Danish immigrant and Civil War veteran, announced at a press conference in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, that he was having built a boat of his own design.  The vessel would be based on the latest "lifeboat" technology, and he would sail around the world in it.  Dubbed the "Uncle Sam", it was to be an open dory eighteen feet long by six feet wide, with a single fore-and-aft rigged mast.  In place of a cabin, the Uncle Sam would have a watertight "trunk", (an oilcloth-covered wooden box) large enough to sleep in.  Goldsmith also announced that his new 22-year-old wife, who had no prior seagoing experience, would be accompanying him as his "crew". Uncle Sam’s New York is one of New York City’s walking tour, pub crawl and nightlife tour companies.  The Daily News hailed Uncle Sam’s New York as a walking tour company that has “something for everyone”.  TimeOut New York also has praised their pub crawls as being affordable and fun trips through Manhattan's past. Jimmy Johnstone: Lord of the Wing is a 2004 documentary narrated by Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, on the career of Jimmy 'Jinky' Johnstone, a Celtic FC and Scottish footballer in the 1960s and '70s and voted Celtic's greatest ever player by the fans of the club.  The 'Lord of the Wing' is so well loved by Celtic fans that two memorial bronze statue tributes to the legendary player have been erected in his honour, one outside Celtic's Parkhead stadium and the other in the year 2011 in a memorial garden of remembrance on a site at his former school close to where he grew up on the Old Edinburgh Road, Viewpark, Uddingston.  The garden was opened by Jimmy Johnstone's wife, family and some of the surviving members of the 'Lisbon Lions' team.  The bronze life size statue created by sculptor John McKenna from Ayrshire was paid for by money raised by the Jimmy 'Jinky' Johnstone memorial statue fund and the memorial garden from kind donations from the public and the business world.  A plaque on the statue reads "Jinky - the greatest ever Celt".
