That is the closest thing we have to an explanation.
Samuel Wilson or " Uncle Sam " as he was known was a major meat supplier to the military and he put his initials on the boxes containing his supplies. The US was understood to mean United States but in actuality it was Uncle Sam or Samuel Wilson certifying his goods as genuine.
