Our Greatest President: George Washington

An excellent column by Peter A. Lillback about George Washington, "the purest and noblest character of modern time -- possibly of all time." (That quote is from the Duke of Wellington.)

Our country was blessed with a remarkable group of Founding Fathers, but I particularly believe that it was Divine Providence who placed this "Indispensable Man" in the right place at the right time in our nation's history.

Abraham Lincoln is debatably George Washington's equal in greatness, but without President Washington, it's unlikely there would have been a United States in existence for President Lincoln to save.
