  Besides these historical pics history and literature are fertile fields from which to harvest cartoon ideas. But you have to have an educated audience for cartoons like that to be appreciated.

  Thank you. Commentary is not necessary and detracts from the simple majesty of the event, an emanation beyond words.

    I agree – although sometimes commentary is very much needed – especially for those who are learning or need to learn from seasoned folks (like yourself) and so here – no commentary needed – but other times it can be a gift to hungry and learning readers – which I know first hand because it is what helped shaped me and fed my mind…

    Agree. I was a US history teacher 33 years so it’s kind of in my blood. Additional meaning as Washington and me(and so many others) members of the same fraternity. In this fraternity God is referred to as the Grand Architect of the Universe just as Washington was a builder of America.

When the way forward is unclear, it’s good to look where we’ve come from and the goals that were set at the time.
