I love GW

..and I'm not talking about Bush. I love George Washington our founding father, our first president, amazing general and all around great guy. If more countries had leaders like George Washington there wouldn't be as much corruption in the world! I had the opportunity to visit the George Washington Masonic Memorial and it made me love him even more!
