The old Uncle Sam poster is a symbol that represents America because it represents how much dedication the U.S. government is about having Americans participate and join in the U.S. Army. We as Americans want to be seen as very dedicated.

The Hollywood sign is a symbol that represents America because America is highly "revolved" with media, which include Hollywood stars. Also, it represents an inspiration for many Americans.
Las Vegas is a symbol that represents America because Americans like to be known as people who are fun to hang out with. As Americans, we love to take a break from things and just have fun. What other place to have fun in (if you're over 21) than the wonderful place of gambling in Las Vegas. Remember that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas ;) !
The bald eagle represents America because it is a very unique and rare bird, just like America likes to be seen. Just like we like to be seen as the only true country with its' own unique way of life.
The statue of liberty represents America because it signifies freedom the welcoming to immigrants to the land of opportunities. The statue of liberty represents America because it also shows that Americans like to be seen as welcomers and friendly.
Interesting choices. I don't know that I would have thought of the Las Vegas sign as an example of a major American symbol, but I guess it is if you think of the entertainment/ridiculousness that is found there that captures a big segment of Americana :)
