George Washington, our first president and General in the war for independence.


"To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." - First Annual Address to Congress, January 8, 1790

"It having pleased the Almighty Ruler of the universe to defend the cause of the United American States, and finally to raise up a powerful friend among the princes of the earth, to establish our liberty and independence upon a lasting foundation, it becomes us to set apart a day for gratefully acknowledging the divine goodness, and celebrating the important event, which we owe to His divine interposition." - General Orders, May 5, 1778
