Besides leading us to independence, this is what makes George Washington the greatest American to have ever lived. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMYaDMVbZtU

If I remember correctly, it used to be February 11th, but due to a change in the calendar, it was moved to February 22nd.

Washington remains the only President with a uniamous Electoral Collage vote. Madison nearly tied him but one representative changed his vote so that Washington remained the only uniamous man.

His birthday is February 22. George once said I cannot tell a lie , I chopped down that cherry tree. It’s a lie if you think today is his birthday.

Maybe, but I just want to be able to decide who lives and who dies.

Well, my wife celebrates her birthday the whole month, so giving the Father of the country a few extra days is certainly ok with me.

The cherry tree story - the Weems story - is a lie, as is the coin-throwing business. There is much, much more about the General, however, that is even more fascinating and... True!

My childhood was a lie.

Captain Kangaroo fans might remember this.

The President on the Dollar--Mitch Miller (1956)

The president on the dollar,
The Yankee Doodle dollar.
The president on the dollar,
George Washington's his name!
