Today marks the birthday of my favorite president George Washington.

The “father of his country” who played an important role in shaping this nation into what it is today was born 282 years today on February 22, 1732.

Without George Washington would our country be here today?  We will never know, but it is certain that our nation would likely be completely different…

“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

  – George Washington

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”
