“Leadership is not only having a vision, but also having the courage, the discipline, and the resources to get you there.”
George Washington

[jesseusgrantcanales]

What blew me away as a fact I may have missed in the past, his mother lived long enough to see George be the US's first President.

Washington was a true man of his age. No, he never did chop down that cherry tree. However; he was stead fast in his beliefs. George believed in honor, discipline and, faith in his fellow man. The United States could not ask for a better General in war. And, I have to say; our model of a great President.

Washington may have not been the best general in a purely military sense of winning battles with tactical prowess, but he won the Revolutionary War by keeping the army alive in critical battles such Trenton. At many points the army was very close to collapse such as at Valley Forge, but he had the respect from the troops that was critical. Truly he was the father of the country.

George Washington is the best president that we could’ve asked for ( to start the country with ) his integrity in my opinion is rivaled by no other president.

[josephdrach]

George Washington was devoted to founding an independent nation and saw to it that it happened. He later served as President and did so with devotion to his newly formed country. He was not a perfect General or President but he put in a lot of effort. Everyone makes mistakes and so did Washington. His smart, caring choices are what I choose to focus on.

Some of my ancestors were with him at Valley Forge.

George Washington General, Statesman, President. He is Legendary and Forever will hold the title our First and Foremost Leader, Father of his Nation and still worth following his Exemplary Example of Humility, Honor and Sacrifice. A Great man never to be forgotten.

I recently became very interested in the Founding Fathers after watching the HBO series John Adams. If anyone is remotely fascinated by colonial America and the events that led to our Independence, I HIGHLY recommend it. It’s so well done it’s like actually glimpsing into the 1700’s.

[slapshot]

This country could use a man like Washington again now!

[annettethurman]

He loved this country and put it first. Today's politicians should study and learn.

[verablexitasap]

Being from Pennsylvania its so cool to here so many of our hometown names and landmarks and highways as the actual men from whom the names originated

[tubularbill]

The greatest American. He sacrificed his life and family to free this country. He could have decided not too. He was a kind, decent and Godly man.

[danny__dimes]

To Revisionist historians trying to paint George Washington as a bad person: we can talk all we want about the things Washington didn’t do, but we can’t refuse to accept all the great things the man did do

[colleenmonfross]

In answer to the question you posed at the end of the video, I believe Washington was a great man. He could never have achieved what he did - winning the American Revolution and becoming the first President of the United States, had he not been made of the right stuff. We were blessed to have him.

"Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world that a Freeman, contending for liberty on his own ground, is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth."

George Washington, July 2nd 1776

[jackhays]

among the greatest men in history. no GW, no USA.

[joie]

If George Washington was ever revived and see how usa is progressing he would be very disappointed and angry

[munyankindijeanbosco]
