I’m asking you to pick one. One person, one story.

I’m not asking you to share that story and go into details, BTW, I’m just curious which story it was. Though it would be more useful to be shared and, in particular, not quoted.

If we readily acknowledge that those around us are unfamiliar(and we know they are), then quoting does more harm than good.

Forget the “cherry tree cut down” story, about Washington. Start when he took a rag-tag group of colonists, organized them into a semi-militia, spent winters at Valley Forge PA and Morristown NJ had Ben Franklin get funding and soldiers from France, crossed to Potomac, turned the tide of the Rev War, turned-down the ‘king title” after being US President, and retired to Monticello. The details and other events, are amazing.

And according to “Ancient Aliens” on History, he received divine guidance from extra-terrestrials. Heh.
