I love George Washington. Every time I go back to NJ I try to take a trip through Morristown, where he was waylaid with the dreaded winter snows, worst in many a year that year. Yea, the devil did not want the birth of the nation, for we were a Christian Nation.
What a noble character. What a beautiful soul. Loved his wife, Martha, she was the lucky one. Not many men or women like him. I wish we’d get another.
And so, I’d like to ask you, what do YOU think of the stories of his seeing an angel?
I can believe it, but, well, they say it was written down well after his death.
“What a noble character.”
I seem to recall a story (Medved probaably!) that after a battle, a dog was in the American camp. Washington recognized it as the British General’s dog. He returned it personally under a flag of truce. Back when honor (on both sides) meant something.
Washington was never hit with a bullet. Although his cloak would sometimes have holes in it after a battle.
