George Washington - Father of Our Country

Possibly no other person in U.S. history had greater RESPONSIBILITY than George Washington. The colonists assigned him the duty of Commander-in-Chief to win our war for independence. He did. The citizens of our new nation assigned him the duty to be our first President and lead us. He did. In everything he did, this great man showed RESPONSIBILITY as a great leader. When the job needed to be done, he did it, and he did it successfully.
