The First American

I feel fortunate and blessed to be born in America. I've had an opportunity to travel the globe and see other countries and observe their values and their cultures. I've also been witness to those people there that have a curiosity about America and what makes it different.

I believe we can look to our founding Fathers and especially George Washington for the Genesis of that legacy

If we examine his actions, his deeds and his beliefs in the worthiness of the Cause, we can see what motivated this man and what gave him belief to pursue and act with the singleness of mind as a great Leader; a General and a great President.

I applaud Newt & Callista and their Foundation for bringing this message to the screen.

I'm a proud American, a History Major and a student of American history. I've seen many documentaries about our history. This by far, exceeds all others.

I particularly like the revelation about Billie Lee, his assistant, this I never knew.

In the telling of the story, it seems apparent that all the elements that created George Washington to become the man he was, were by design, those elements that created him to be the Leader that American needed at a great crossroads in our American History.

He is not to be forgotten!
