One week ago, last Saturday, 26 September a.d. 2020, General Washington was at the Prayer March of Rev. Franklin Graham, and The Return Revival of Prayer event on the Washington Mall in Washington.

To more easily carry the Washington Cruisers, First Navy, Liberty Tree "Appeal to Heaven" flag, GW wears a flag harness.   Last week the sand from the foot of the flag pole, and many times before over the past decade and more, wore through the canvass strap.

Today, a week later, in Washington County, Tennessee, here for the National Storytelling Festival, my AirBnB hosts Robert and Tonya, fixed my harness, so VERY WELL, it is now far better than when new!

Can not seem to easily post a photo of the new and improved flag harness.  Maybe later!  Time to suit up!

 For the Mount Vernon Civil Air Patrol Squadron, in 2007, I created a pocket size booklet titled:

A Civil Air for America:  George Washington's Rules of Civility... with the Civil Air Patrol Core Values.

I was not able to get a big Defense Contractor to fund the first printing so it could be an ongoing fundraiser for the Civil Air Patrol, so to share the work anyway, I created the Blogspot.com Blog:

ACivilAir.blogspot.com

It is really "the best" publication of GW's Rules of Civility, because you can read the Rules in GW's own penmanship -- AND -- because per the suggestion of WWII Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Brigadier General William Hale Wilbur, USA (ret.), in his a.d. 1973 book "The Making of George Washington" from Patriotic Education, Inc. (now of Houston, Texas area), I arranged GW's 110 Rules of Civility into 7 categories, and made a modern "tweet" version of each GW Rule of Civility.

Since a.d. 2008, I have not posted any on this Blogspot.com blog, today, 3 October a.d. 2020, I add 21 photos from the past several years, and will try to post here more often.  I plan to direct the URL of GeneralWashington.info, to this blog.

Spirit of '76 painting in Marblehead, Massachusetts, with the "Spirit of George Washington"

Marblehead is a lovely town and the "City Hall" is a most interesting "museum". If you get as far North as Boston, go the extra mile (or quite a few miles) to visit the Birthplace of the American Navy were the first of the Washington Cruisers were Commissioned by Commander in Chief George Washington.

The 7 Washington Cruisers flew a flag much like the reconstructed Liberty Tree Flag, or Washington Cruisers Flag, which was the TRUE "First Navy Flag", NOT the "fake snake" flag that now flies on the bow of American Navy ships due to misinformed quasi-historians in the Secretary of the Navy's office back during the Bicentennial in the mid-1970s.

GW points out Article VI, Section 4 of this Constitution, read and work to make true!

Farmer and Federalist George Washington showing a Future Farmer of America, Miss Christy Huffman of Virginia Tech the Seeds of the Tree of Liberty in this Constitution.

George Washington served as the President of the Constitutional Convention so is aware of some key provisions of that "Miracle in Philadelphia", one of which is Article I, Section 9, "the importation of such persons...", not slaves, bondservants, or chattel.

This Constitution recognized the manhood, the "personhood" of the black people who had been imported to the various states (by the state with the most number of slave traders from 1720 to 1808, when outlawed by this Constitution, was "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations").

President Jefferson signed the legislation to implement that Article of this Constitution on 1 January a.d. 1808, the first day possible.

Article IV, Section 4 is also a key provision, for it is a reminder that our Founding Fathers were wise to know to fear a Democracy, so they created a Republican form of government, as herein stated.

George In Classroom - All Across America

The Lady in the red coat on the left of the upper left photo is The First Lady, "Mrs. George W.", Mrs. George W. Bush, that is, Laura Bush, who on Tuesday, 15 January visited Washington Mill Elementary School, the closest school to the Mount Vernon mansion house, just a little ways outside the West Gate, in Westgate subdivision.

The Lady standing is "Mrs. George W.", Mrs. George Washington, or Martha Washington, wonderfully portrayed by the wonderful lady Mary Wiseman of Potomac Avenue in the Mount Vernon magisterial district.

The photo graced the front page of The Alexandria Times on Thursday, 17 January. The other photos are of "George" in front of many a classroom already... But this "George" most heartily approves of these paintings of George being proudly placed in every American classroom!

Below shows "George" beside a painting of George by a Japanese artist that was given to President Harry Truman on display at the Truman Presidential Library in Independence, Missouri. "Harry" is portrayed by Truman biographer and Living Historian, Neil Johnson, who used to work at the Truman Library.

Truman said his three favorite Statesmen in History, were Cato and Cincinnatus of the Roman Republic, and Washington of our American Republic (NOT a "Democracy" a form feared by the Founding Fathers, and wisely so!)
