No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency. From George Washington's First Inaugural Address, April 30, 1789
The more I learn about the courage and sacrifices made by General and then President Washington the more I realize we would never be a nation today without his leadership and resolve. Happy 237th Birthday America!
