February is an important month for America! In this month were born our two great Presidents – George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Today we will pay tribute to them. Borrowing from the Gettysburg Address "…it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this".
They were both Founding Fathers!
Washington, as the Father of Our Country, was famously eulogized as '…1st in War, 1st in Peace, and 1st in the Hearts of his Countrymen.' We will look at why that is so!
Lincoln, as the Father of Our 2nd Founding, completed America's Founding Vision – 'A New Nation, conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all are created equal!' We will look at that too!
Ben has been interested in our American Founding Heritage since he was very young. He learned it at home, from parents & other family members, and from the books they read to him and those they gave him to read.
