“OI R FIRST COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF”
No man has left a greater heritage to Americans at war
than our first Commander-in-Chief, General George Wash­
ington. It was he who gave to the Army of the American
Revolution the courage to fight on against insurmountable
obstacles. It was his powerful personality, his superb leader­
ship, that turned a small band of green, poorly equipped men
into an efficient Army.
We are all familiar with the hardships that Army had
