In October 1781, after Lord Cornwallis surrendered his army to the American forces at Yorktown, George Washington was like a man who keeps reaching for the rungs of a ladder after he has arrived at the top. The months and years of anxiety, reversals, defeats and betrayals had wrung his soul. He could not believe the truth: that when silence fell over the field at Yorktown, the war was effectively over. America’s independence was won.

Another good read about our history and George Washington. Thank you Jack.

Great article Jack, our democratic system owes so much to so few. Lets pray it survives this latest assault.
Absolutely wonderful story of Thanksgiving. Thanks, Jack. I've made sure it is shared!
