History generally looks upon George Washington as the "Father of our Country" the first president of a newly-formed nation. But it was Washington the Soldier who earned the lofty rank, and Washington the Man who won the love and affection of a grateful nation. A tall, strong man with stern features and broad shoulders, Washington commanded respect and admiration by his very presence. He is said to have been graceful -- even majestic -- in his movements and gestures; a man at once commanding, yet gentle and refined. As a young man he served notably in the British Army, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. At 26, he returned to his Virginia homeland -- having attained renown as a fine British soldier. As a firsthand witness of British military procedures, Washington became an invaluable asset to the Americans, and, with the coming revolution, he was quick to offer his experienced judgment and military knowledge. impressed, members of the Continental Congress wisely elected him Commander-in-Chief of their Army. He accepted no pay for his services but led the Army brilliantly and bravely on to a victory that once seemed almost impossible. In triumph, Washington resigned his commission at Annapolis, Maryland. His military career ended, Washington at 51 looked forward to retirement, but history would hold for him yet another great call to duty -- the Presidency of the United States of America.
