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!
Call Mount Vernon today 703-780-2000 to donate to support this great idea, or go to their Member page
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!)

Wreaths Across America...The Spiritual Journey of George Washington...
The lady in the video picture above is Colonel Jane Davies, Civil Air Patrol, Commander of the National Capital Wing, who gave the recently published (late a.d. 2007) book on the Spiritual Journey of George Washington below to "GW" at a Mount Vernon Civil Air Patrol Squadron Change of Command.
On page 49 of The Spiritual Journey of George Washington is a URL to
The American Colonists' Library
That has hundreds of links to wonderful works and words, one of which is George Washington the Christian by William Jackson Johnson in a.d. 1919 (NOT as the Library of Congress erroneously lists "William Jackson Johnstone", a different man who died within months of the same time in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and was also an author who worked at a local college.)

GW with little Miss Hailey in Washington, DC
Little Miss Hailey for several days on a visit to Washington, D.C. had been asking her parents and grand-parents to see George Washington, and they tried to say, "Sweetie, George Washington is not around any more to meet with you."
Here you see Miss Hailey's pretty head covered by GW's Trinity Hat... one where "GW" has been protected in many a battle doing GW...
As she came onboard the Cherry Blossom, who did Miss Hailey meet but "George Washington", upon which she turned to her folks and said assuredly, "See, I told you so..."
The night of Independence Day, along with Leadership Institute and president Morton Blackwell, a man like George Washington who is creating a new generation of leaders for America,...
... little Miss Hailey and her family went on the Cherry Blossom stern-wheeler riverboat from Alexandria up the Potomac River to be best positioned to watch the annual Independence Day fireworks.
Turns out that GW and Miss Hailey are related, in that Miss Hailey is a descendant from another of Mary Ball Washington's children!
Here you see "Le Grand Trio" ~~ the "grand" Miss Hailey, "Bop" her Grand Pop, and Grand PaPa George (Washington), the "father of His country", and grandfather of His country, too!
By the way, here "PaPa" is short for "Pater Patrae" or Latin for "father of the country".
"George Washington" gave Miss Hailey a copy of "tHis Constitution for the United States of America" with a picture of George Washington reaching out with a quill pen to you to also sign this Constitution, and asked little Miss Hailey to read this Constitution and read it to others.
Over the next days and months, Miss Hailey repeatedly asked her folks to read to her this Constitution, and they did. The proud PaPa of Hailey plays for the New Orleans Saints...
"Oh when the Saints go marchin' in, I want to be there in that number..." There were more French "Saints" who marched at Yorktown (over 25,000) than American "Saints" (about 9000) and more than those "sinners" the British under General Cornwallis (about 21,000). Yet also remember that the British Army reportedly played the tune "The World Turned Upside Down". How fitting because on 9 July a.d. 1776, General Washington gave the Order to His army, "The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man shall endeavor so to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier...".
And then remember that in Acts 17:6 is written that the early Christians turned the world upside down. This band of early American Christian Soldiers turned the world upside down by defeating the mightiest Army on earth, the British Army!
Before leaving the Cherry Blossom, Miss Hailey asked her Grand-folks, GrandPop "Bop" and "Granny Sue" also known as "GaGa" if she could stay with GW and live in the White House.
Two of Washington's soldiers, Captain William Washington, nephew of the General, and Lieutenant James Monroe, were shot in the Raid on Trenton. Yet later Monroe became Minister to Spain where he obtained a $15 million dollar gift from the King of Spain,
...and Spain later captured New Orleans from the British!
Our War for Independence was the "World War" of its time, and Washington was called by Thomas Paine, author of "Common Sense", as the "World's Apostle of Liberty" with parks and plazas, statues and streets, cities and counties named for Washington all across America and around the world.
Minister James Monroe returned from Spain to became a member of the Continental Congress that received the Resignation of General Washington in Annapolis on 23 December a.d. 1783 when as victorious General he "wowed the world" by peacefully giving over power to the civilian government. That date should be honored along with the 17th of September, the 4th of July, and the 22nd of February!
(Of course every Patriotic American knows the significance of each of those other three days, plus the 11th of September, Patriots' Day, when American forces lost a battle in Pennsylvania but in the American loss saved the Congress in Philadelphia not far from the Battle of Brandywine where General Lafayette was wounded.)
That December date with destiny, or date of Divine Providence, was the first time a military leader had peacefully relinquished power in over 2000 years, since before the birth of Jesus Christ, since the time of the Roman Republic (not the Roman Empire) and the Roman Generals Cato and Cincinnatus. Washington has been compared to Cato, and is called the "Cincinnatus of the West".
In fact, there is a Fort Washington in Cincinnati, Ohio, a town named for George Washington.
King George III at the time was amazed at the subjugation of ego in Washington and said that Washington was the greatest man of his time or perhaps all time.
President Truman said his three favorite statesmen in world History were Cato, Cincinnatus, and Washington, and Truman was a wise man.
By foregoing power, George Washington truly gave birth to our American Republic (NOT a "Democracy" that the wise Founding Fathers feared), and so is rightly called the "father of His country", where His refers to Jesus, not George!
Later, James Monroe was elected Senator from Virginia, and of course became the Fifth President. The only race he lost was to little Jamey Madison for the First Congress. Monroe lost because little Jamey Madison got the support of Baptist pastor John Leland when he promised to work for a set of Amendments to this Constitution that became know as the Bill of Rights , and Jamey Madison was a true gentleman, true to his word and promise.
Most Americans do not realize that one of the 12 amendments prepared by Jamey Madison was not Ratified at the time (15 December a.d. 1791) but finally was Ratified by the States on 7 May a.d. 1992 by the vote of Michigan, over 200 years later, so became the 27th Amendment!
Her Granny Sue (GaGa) wrote:
Hailey saw herself on the website tonight and she was just overcome with joy. I spoke to my daughter in New Orleans and gave her the link. I was on the phone when Hailey saw it and she was so excited...
She said to tell George hello! ... the child does have the joy of the Lord. She loves Jesus!
So in the Spirit of the Revolutionary James Monroe, who suffered injury at Trenton yet persevered to be elected Senator, and become one of America's greatest Presidents, upon entering Kindergarten at the end of this summer, Miss Hailey ran for -- and was elected -- as Senator from her class, and plans to run for President in due time... all at Godspeed!

Wise Words from Wise Men via a Wise Man "Colonel" Isom
Who is that tall good lookin' fellow beside "George Washington"?Not the Minister to France and his Minister of State, Thomas Jefferson, but rather the able aide, "Colonel" Steve Isom of Cayce, South Carolina, who happens to belong to that distinguished group known as "War Eagles".
Colonel Isom seems to spend time in those hallowed halls of the South Carolina legislature (GW knows about that sort of work from his years in Virginia's House of Burgesses a "few" years ago.)
Colonel Isom has managed to show elected servants that it is a wise way to go to go and go and go with electricity powered cars like you see the Colonel waving from that blue green model. With the tax benefits that are now allowed, more than a few folks are green with envy, and will be blue if they do not get Zap-ped for themselves!
Colonel Isom, a wise man provided these wise words from wise men:
Experience is a dear teacher,
but fools will learn at no other.
Benjamin Franklin
You cannot teach a man anything;
you can only help him find it within himself.
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Italian physicist and astronomer.
Time is the best teacher, unfortunately it kills all its students.
Knowledge is experience. Anything else is just information.
-Albert Einstein, Swiss-American Physicist
Life teaches none but those who study it.
V. O. Kliuchevsky
Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.
E.M. Forster
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
-Mark Twain, American Writer
George Washington, historians tell us was not "well educated", because he was not heavily "schooled" having not attended college (at William and Mary like Thomas Jefferson, Harvard like John Adams, or Princeton like James Madison), yet Harvard Professor Alfred Bushnell Hart wrote that George Washington was the BEST EDUCATED of the Founding Fathers.
Write to me if you wish to know why GW was the Best Educated.

P.S. You might like to see what Colonel Isom and Dr. Ben Franklin have been up to in recent days with their experiments with this new-fangled thing called "Electricity" (Other than of course that enhancement of mail service by Postmaster General Franklin named Electric Mail or E-Mail for short.)

His (Modest) Excellency George Washington
His (Modest) Excellency

If You Can Keep It
By Mark CoombsJan 24 2007
If You Can Keep It
In 1932 — the year in which our first president, George Washington, would have celebrated his two-hundredth birthday — Harvard historians were busy trying to figure out exactly how to sum up the man, his life and his career.
They determined, according to authors Patrick Gerster and Nicholas Cords, that a comparison or two might be in order.
As it were, however, no less than seven would prove satisfactory.
Washington, our Crimson friends wrote, “was bolder than Alexander, more crafty than Hannibal, wiser than Caesar, more prudent than Gustavus Adolphus, more resourceful than Frederick, more sagacious than Napoleon and more successful than Scipio.”
’Twas, put simply, quite the “World’s Best Dad” acclamation for the Father of the United States.

GW swarmed by Sixth Graders to autograph Constitution
In the Fincastle Herald, published in the town where there is a Revolutionary War cemetary that has more veterans from the Revolutionary War than any other cemetary in America, the Spirit of George Washington LIVES! again in the hearts, minds and souls of 220 Sixth Grade Students who heard History Come Alive.As General Washington, LCDR Manship spoke for 45 minutes on "this Constitution for this United States of America".
GW charged the students of Read Mountain Middle School to read the mountain of wisdom contained in this Constitution, and to read at least the Preamble to ten other persons, parents, pastors and pals.
At the end, students swarmed around LCDR Manship for him to sign "GW" on their copies of this Constitution, which is what you see in this photo.

Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) at Regent U & Founders Inn hear from Founder George Washington
George Washington gave Grace before the supper and then addressed the business school students from colleges and universities from South Carolina to West Virginia gathered for a competition in Free Enterprise underwritten by the Sam Walton Foundation.
The GW address spoke to His Story, including the history of Christian merchants and missionaries to China, the father and son team of Nicolai and Marco Polo. GW shared that in a.d. 1275 when Marco Polo traveled with his father Nicolai to the Court of Kublan Khan in China a man could buy a paperback book with paper money, an aspect of both communications and commerce not possible in Europe at the same time.
Yet years earlier the Kubla Khan was so impressed with Christianity as a benefit for his people that he told Nicolai Polo to return with 100 teachers of Christianity. However, the Pope only sent 3 Friars, and they turned back after the caravan was attacked by bandits in the Middle East. What a lost opportunity for acting on the Great Commission to go into all the world and share the Good News!
However, that same printing press technology that the Chinese and the Koreans had in the 1200s eventually made its way to Germany with the Gutenberg Printing Press.
There came the difference. Who remembers what was printed in China in the 1200s? Who remembers what was the first book to be printed on the Gutenberg printing press? Much of the world knows the first book on the Gutenberg press was the Holy Bible.
Years later, King James I of England tasked the church scholars of his day to prepare an authorized version of the Holy Bible and printed in 1611, which is known today as either the King James Version (KJV) or the Authorized Version.
That KJV Bible was used in the early settlement of Jamestowne in the colony of Virginia where the third paragraph was the purpose to "propagate the Christian religion to the inhabitants thereof..."
And today, you can go to the Dollar General store and with ONE General George Washington Dollar bill you can buy a paperback copy of the King James Version Bible, like Marco Polo was NOT quite able to do in China in a.d. 1275 under the king, or Kubla Khan.
The point is that a "Silent Partner" in any truly successful business is the King of Kings, Jesus Christ. And this Constitution for the United States of America measures its birth from the Birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mercy Me! Meet the Warren Family!
"GrandPaPa George" Revolutionary Reader Read-Along at the Founders' Inn in Virginia Beach with the wonderful Warren family of nearby Chesapeake where some time ago a much younger GW surveyed a route through the Great Dismal Swamp for the Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal as part of the grand plan to promote interstate commerce by means of an extensive network of intracoastal waterways.
The books in the young lady's lap are the "Jefferson Bible" (the lavender book) that tells the truth about the first "Jefferson Bible" being a "Gospel Tract" from the "Great White Chief" - the President, and what some historians and politicians say about Jefferson "cutting out the parts he did not agree with, the Virgin Birth, and the Miracles" is very deceptive. The truth is that the "Jefferson Bible" is very close to what we today might describe as a "Red Letter Only" New Testament. That explains why the Virgin Birth and the description of Jesus' Miracles are "cut out", because Jesus never described the Virgin Birth, or the Miracles. However, in one verse in John, Jesus did list the Miracles, which Jefferson included, so Jefferson did NOT deny the Miracles of Jesus by "cutting them out" of the so-called "Jefferson Bible".
The top book is a children's book telling of the Constitutional Convention where Washington was unanimously elected as the President over the Convention. One writer has tabulated that 38 of the 55 men at the Constitutional Convention had served under Washington's command, and so had total faith in Washington's integrity and leadership.
The light blue book is "The Making of George Washington" by W.W. II Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Brigadier General William Hale Wilbur, US Army. It is probably the best book written to understand the unique way Washington was educated to prepare him to be the greatest leader in American history and the Man for the Millenniums, the most important man in the whole wide world in the past 1000 years!
The book in the lap of "GrandPaPa General" is the book about Trenton written in the Year of Our Lord 2004 by "Second Lady" Lynne Cheney. The Warren's had already read that book, so instead GrandPaPa George read to them a favorite of his and his aide's beloved boy Jamey, the book "George Washington's Breakfast". Three copies of the book had been sent to General Washington by a children's literature expert, Mrs. Murray, in the fall of a.d. 2000.
In December a.d. 2000, one copy was given to Senator-Elect George Allen at the Hotel Roanoke (see post on that occasion below). About the same time another copy was sent to "Mrs. President George W." -- the First Lady Laura Bush, and she sent a nice thank you note.
Here in this photo you can compare the painting on the wall, "the real thing", and the printed picture on the greenback GW dollar.Notice the noses.
By the way, that explains how this man fit "The Making of George Washington" as the book title says; Jeremiah 1:5 reads: "God knew His purpose for you before He formed you in your mother's womb to be a prophet to the nations."
That explains why God took an extra long time to form....
... an extra long nose...
so this man could portray George Washington, "the father of His country"!
Oh yeah!
By the way, the fine photographer is the marvelous Mama of these cute children, Mrs. Kathleen Warren. She also took a video, but it has not yet been prepared for posting by the much overworked (and underpaid ?) aide to General Washington, perpetual Midshipman Manship. So come on back to see when the video gets posted too. Thanks, and enjoy!
