George Washington

George Washington, commonly called the father of his country, was born in 1732. The son of a wealthy Virginia planter, he was privately educated and trained to be a surveyor. But as an officer in the French and Indian War, he became interested in military leadership.

By 1775, relations with England had become so bad that the colonists were ready to fight for their independence. The Continental Congress named Washington Commander-in-Chief of the revolutionary army. His job was difficult. His army was small, poorly fed, and inadequately clothed. Washington never asked for and never received any salary for the job he performed. In fact, he often spent his own money to buy clothing for his men and send aid to their families. Washington brought to the battlefield great military ability and a noble character.

Washington was the first man, not a king whose birthday was publicly celebrated during his lifetime. Before the colonies declared their independence, celebrations honouring the birthday of British rulers were customary. After the Declaration of Independence the American people ignored royal birthdays and began instead to celebrate General Washington’s birthday.

When the war ended in 1783, Washington returned to Mount Vernon. But his peaceful retirement was interrupted when he was unanimously chosen first president of the United States. He took office in 1789 and was reelected in 1792. In 1796 he refused a third term and retired from political life. He died two years later and was buried at Mount Vernon, which one million people visit every year. Shortly after his death, Washington was praised in these famous words: «First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen».

To the American people. Washington symbolises dignity, statesmanship, and above all, honesty. The famous cherry-tree story has become a lesson in morals for all American schoolchildren. The story goes like this: When George Washington was about six years old, his father gave him a hatchet which the little boy loved to play with. One day he tried the edge of his hatchet on his father’s favourite cherry-tree and did enough damage to kill the tree. Next morning his father noticed the damage and ran into the house shouting, «George, do you know who killed that beautiful little cherry-tree in the garden?» George’s reply was. can’t tell a lie, pa, you know I can’t tell a lie. I cut it with my hatchet. His father, pleased with the boy’s courage and honesty. quickly forgave him.

Because of this story, traditional desserts on Washington’s birthday are a cherry pie or a log-shaped cake decorated with cherries. Washington’s birthday is a legal holiday throughout the USA. It is celebrated on the third Monday in February.
