Popular Post geeviam Posted July 4, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Happy Independence Day everyone! I hope your weekend is filled with fellowship and fun, with family and friends. While we celebrate this special July 4th Holiday, with rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air, I'd like to share something you may not have seen before. Our First President, George Washington, was a very special human being. No matter which part of the globe your ancestors came from, or whether they were immigrants, indentured servants, or slaves - if you are now American, with the freedom to pursue happiness and the American Dream - George Washington was the key figure at that pivotal moment in our history, and gave all of himself for the eventual independence for all of us. His farewell speech is one of the best ever. He made this speech more than 200 years ago, yet it is still relevant to things happening in this country today. It's a tough read because his English vocabulary was so sophisticated (and they spoke differently back then anyway). Here attached is a copy of George Washington's Farewell Speech. Stay safe everyone! Geo Washington Farewell Address.pdf 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shallowminded6 Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Some is probably lost in the translation to todays english. But it is clear what they believed in, why they made the sacrafices they made, what they were worried of, and who/what they were thankful of. All still true today without a doubt. Thanks for the post, never seen that before. Happy 4th! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
