Awesome.
I've got an aunt/uncle/cousins near Newburgh... didn't know the General was there.
I was born in White Plains, NY. I remember going to Washington's headquarters in N. White Plains... looking out the windows (were wavey so assume they were the original window panes) and seeing a stamp/press that was used to make bullets... this was in the 70s. During the tour of the headquarters it was mentioned by the guide that the mfg. bullets were made from silver... probably to take out those nasty warewolves back in the 18th century :-)

I visited The General’s headquarters in Newburgh this summer...definitely worth the trip. And, while he was only in White Plains for a short time (he had to stay ahead of Cornwallis), he was in Newburgh for almost a year and a half (Cornwallis was gone).

I heard that the mayor of Newburgh wants KSM and other terrorists tried there.

And one of Washington's greatest moments happened upon the occasion of his leaving the Presidency when he extolled Americans to not align themselves with political Party's. He warned against everything that has been going on for many years.
And "we the people" simply ignored his warnings.
We are paying a dear price!

In the United States, it was the story of Newburgh and Washingtons iconic status in our early years that so firmly established a tradition of civilian control in the minds of both our military and civilians. BTTT
