My Revolutionary War ancestors from Virginia are spinning in their graves.

Before I even opened the thread, I flashed back for a moment to wonder: "What if George Washington saw that headline in the paper?"

Funny you should mention George Washington. My distant grandfather, Joshua Fry (1770-17540, was his commander. When Fry died from a horse accident, Washington was promoted to commander.

Bizarre.
