Happy birthday to the greatest of all Americans and one of the greatest of men at all.
To: karnage
That is good to know. You remind me that I intend to visit Our Lady of Malibu for Mass sometime.

And worse of all, the father of our country was a-— Mason.

I was waiting for that:-)
I think he went to a total of 4 meetings.

Thank you for posting this. I will read it later; too busy to cry now.....
To: a fool in paradise
Yes, and 4th generation native American, at that.

I am proud to share Washington’s birthday. And on a much lesser note, the day (30 years ago) when the USA beat Russia in the Olympics. As an 11 year old soul brother from the ‘hood in the noted hockey town of Los Angeles, I wasn’t a hockey fan yet. Oh how excited I would have been!

One of the most powerful things to admire about GW is his refusal to run a 3rd term even though he was asked. He was also asked to be king but refused.............
Someone else might have the details but I got the essence right.

IMHO, Number nine should be number one.
He single handedly put down a potential insurrection of his officers against Congress at Valley Forge.
He could have been king, but rejected the notion out of hand.
He was our first and still our greatest President.

My thanks for that post of the eulogy to George Washington.
Oh, to be able to write like the 18th century Americans!

“Droll.” A word to snare a wordsmith, and it worked this time.

He single handedly put down a potential insurrection of his officers against Congress at Valley Forge. Would that be the "Conway Cabal?" What treacherous fools Conway, et al, were. And I must add, he was a disgrace to the Irish people. Even Benedict Arnold did some good for the Revolution before he turned traitor... or tried to.
He was our first and still our greatest President.
No argument there, Jimmy, none at all. I am in complete awe of the man.
To: La Enchiladita
I didn’t see any reference to the fact that Washington was a Federalist, not a “compact theory” Jeffersonian.
