One of the greatest men in history is honored today, George Washington. As a general, Washington's cunning and brave military tactics secured a victory no one thought possible. Already regarded as one of the greatest generals in history, Washington resigned his command to become the president of America, setting the example of leadership that we continue to honor today.
Washington's leadership not only helped create America but also helped define it for generations to come. As we conclude our series on Revolutionary Virginians, we remember his legacy and honor his immense sacrifice and almost unprecedented decision to step away from power, ensuring America remained free from tyranny.
