As Washington County Republican Party, George Washington comes to mind often. His tenacity in the face of many insurmountable challenges is an encouragement in these days when the values of our party are under attack.
During the Revolutionary War, when his soldiers were exhausted, the country was teetering on the end of their financial reserves, and the battle against the greatest empire on earth at the time, Washington addressed his troops,
“My brave fellows, you have done all I asked you to do, and more than can be reasonably expected; but your country is at stake, your wives, your houses and all that you hold dear….you will render that service to the cause of liberty, and to your country, which you probably can never do under any other circumstances.”
His tenacity encourages us to continue strong in this cause of liberty.
