George Washington “I have heard the bullets whistle, and believe me, there is something charming in the sound”
Summary
I did my duty on behalf of my country. When there was a need I did my best to stand up to all challenges and credit my great brave men who served under me. As president, I tried to lead by example and was surrounded by great men at the defining moment in our history. I am prudent, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration was maturely weighted, reframing if I see any doubt, but once decided, I went through with purpose, whatever obstacles opposed.
