Exact date unknown.

History:
Steve Rogers was chosen to embody the role of the United States as a propaganda figure during World War II due to his heroic victory over the HYDRA spy, Heinz Kruger, in the streets of New York City following his injection of the Super Soldier Serum. The event made the front page in many newspapers, and Senator Brandt realized he had potential as a public symbol to boost the morale of the nation, and promote the purchase of War Bonds.

Rogers joined the USO and began touring the nation in a colorful costume as "Captain America", accompanied by a chorus named the Star Spangled Singers, who also danced and playfully gushed in the presence of the Captain. The shows were fully orchestrated and at one point a band of marching drummers would also join the stage. The big finale featured confetti cannons and Cap lifting a motorcycle ridden by showgirls.

Rogers' shows included Rogers' speech about the role of the common citizen during the war, a dancing show by the Star Spangled Singers, feats showing Rogers' strength, a climatic moment when Captain America punched another actor portraying Adolf Hitler and the possibility of getting an autograph or a photo with Captain America.

Rogers' success during these shows led to promotional movies and comics about "Captain America"'s adventures during World War II, and even a radio series entitled The Captain America Adventure Program. However when Rogers took the tour to soldiers on the front lines, he was openly mocked and the soldiers demanded the dancing girls come back.

The tour ended when Rogers saved the lives of nearly 400 imprisoned soldiers and finally entered the war like he had always dreamed and intended
