After reading the excerpt above, can you imagine the challenge Washington faced in making his decision to inoculate? His decision was more fateful, perhaps, than any decision our leaders in Washington are making today.
Truly first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.
I’ve taken all my grandchildren to Mount Vernon. Hopefully I’ve imparted the wisdom I can re: GW.
I have read extensively about him and the revolutionary war. An amazing man in a turbulent time

Is that where Doc Martins came from?
