PHONEry. He was commissioned in the Army in May 1978.

during his talk, Lewis shared a love of country, American
ots and historical interests with this distinguished group.
-wis said he has strong interests in Civil War history and
alogy. With the use of Bible records, he recently discov-
that he is the direct descendant of Asa Darby, a
>lutionary War soldier.
wis' presentation centered on George Washington, the
>lutionary War commander, whom Lewis described as
ig personal interests in music and theater.

nia. Thrust into seven years of fighting with virtually no
irces (he even paid for his troops' gunpowder) our first
nander in chief learned many valuable lessons from his
nand responsibilities.

Y
e Army's beginning was discouraging. In 1777 and
they lost battles in Charleston and Savannah. Washington regrouped his Army and went'
bottle up the British troops fight in Yorktown, which effectively ended the war and left
United States a sovereign country.
wis recounted that today you can stand in some of the same battlefields where,
iington stood and fought.
ashington strongly believed in keeping the troops trained and prepared for battle.
after the spring of 1782, he returned to Mount Vernon, Va. All he really wanted to do was
)me, farm a little and enjoy the simple life but in 1783 he knew he had to serve his coun-
nce again and keep the troops focused on the primary mission of defense against Britain
France.
e accepted the challenge of commanding soldiers and once again paid for supplies from
rivate resources and refused to accept any money from the Continental Army.
ie core of Washington's life was to remain impartial regarding ideas - to consider what
best for this country. Bent on fairness and justice he worked desperately on the floor to
lish standards to protect liberties. He wanted to retreat from politics but finally went back-
tive duty to lead ratification of the Constitution.
ashington become the nation's first president April, 1989. His good friend Henry Knox,
appointed as Secretary of War for the Federation Government,
spoke highly of Washington especially regarding his honesty,:
integrity and highest ethics and principles.' He worked dili-'
gently to exercise established policies in the constitution.
Lewis told of Washington borrowing $600 to ship his person-
al belongings from Mount Vernon to Philadelphia (the original
U.S. capital) while serving as President. He knew the "eyes of
the world were on him and the executive branch of govern
ment." His actions would set many precedents.
He was the first negotiator of contracts and treaties between,
the first colonial settlers and the American Indians.
As president he pushed allocation of money for strong
Navy to to control the seas and provide defense against
England and France.
Religion and morality were to our first President "indis
pensable spirits," Lewis said.
In 1799 Washington returned home to Mount Vernon just a:;
few months before his death. President John Adams' memori-
al to Washington termed him as the "Most Beloved
Countryman this country ever produced."
In closing, Lewis told the group "I'd like to assign you
some homework - read Tom Brokaw's book "The Greatest'
Generation." As long as our history is read it will remain a
ofljh pattern, a guide for those who follow.
Lewis described his father's generation and the World War
II generation as infused with the same ethics, morals, loyalty
and dedication as George Washington. He urged the members
of the group to "get out there and tell our stories. There are
still many who are interested. Pass on lessons you have
learned to the next generation."-co:KiNT.::.^ :, i~Y >. < . ,:.rc!+N0q, v~3. c t -, 'z ; , a-:- r w . .-:. .?c.a.-r. - .:c d -..xe-
