Washington himself gave credit to God for his success. When looks at the amazing details of his victories and life it’s not a hard thing to come to the same conclusion he did.

Thank you for posting. Unparalleled character indeed. Humility is true greatness.

A reminder sorely needed in light of the authoritarians who refuse to cede power today in so many parts of the world: China, Russia, Turkey etc...

People forget that the city Cincinnati was named after George Washington.

If you have not seen John Adams the HBO (on Amazon Prime) series, you really ought to. It is great.

And today the libtards want to teardown his statue.

It’s incredible how often The Republic has overcome against the most seemingly impossible odds.

From Washington’s victory, to the country surviving through Civil War and, of course, Trump’s victory against all the odds over the She-Devil.

Divine intervention has played a role in shaping America’s destiny at every step

Recessional of the Sons of the American Revolution:

“Until we meet again, let us remember our obligations to our
forefathers who gave us our Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
an independent Supreme Court and a nation of free men.”

Dr. Benjamin Franklin, when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy, replied "A Republic, if you can keep it."
Can we???

[Neoliberalnot]

Yes, yes, and the greatness of this Amrican, is being constantly slandered by the Obamas and other ghetto trash that call themselves our leaders. Washington said build this great country with God’s hand, then came the Obamas who said tear down America and throw it in the sewer. We don’t like it cause we be Muslims descended from the Great leaders of Africa.

A rebus - puzzle poem - which solved to the name GEORGE WASHINGTON from New-York Magazine, May 1791. "a man of great fame, Who rescu'd Columbia from death and disgrace"

[mairdie]

That was the solution. Sigh. The original puzzle was published in April.

Apologies for my triple posting. Don’t know how that happened.

PS: I have had the honor of standing near where this event occurred at the State House in Annapolis, which is where the Continental Congress was convened at the time.

Any recommendations for a good biography, written for adults? Perhaps another suitable for today’s youth?

[Pharmboy]

When I pass on, there is at least this one key point that I have brought up my 5 children with (and they are adults now):
This country was founded upon the character of George Washington. And please teach this to your children.
