"....... Pohick Church, previously known as Pohick Episcopal Church, is an Episcopal church in the community of Lorton in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. Often called the "Mother Church of Northern Virginia,"[3][4][5] the church is notable for its association with important figures in early Virginian history such as George Washington and George Mason, both of whom served on its vestry.[6] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.[2]" From Wikipedia,
"Truth will ultimately prevail where pains is taken to bring it to light," wrote George Washington in a letter to Charles M. Thruston on Sunday, August 10, 1794. Thruston warned Washington of a faction in Kentucky that was promoting fake news and a conspiracy theory for personal gain. They were falsely saying that Kentucky was about to break away from the United States to join Britain. Washington thought when Kentuckians learned the truth, the lies would eventually be discredited. It was. The key was that effort be made that the truth be known.
I realize that life does not necessarily follow maxims but this letter from America's first president reminds me of the deep belief from the foundations of the American experiment on how important it was to make the truth known. There was a duty of not letting corruption and falsehoods go unchallenged.

The George Washington Masonic National Memorial was recently added to the United States government’s official list of National Historic Landmarks.
From Wikipedia:
The Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier, also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution, is a war memorial located within Washington Square in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The memorial honors the thousands of soldiers who died during the American Revolutionary War, many of whom were buried in mass graves in the square. The tomb and Washington Square are part of Independence National Historical Park.
The memorial was first conceived in 1954 by the Washington Square Planning Committee, and was completed in 1957. The monument was designed by architect G. Edwin Brumbaugh and includes an eternal flame and a bronze cast of Jean Antoine Houdon's statue of George Washington as the monument's centerpiece. The tomb includes remains which were disinterred, after archeological examination, from beneath the square. The remains are that of a soldier, but it is uncertain if he was Colonial or British. An unknown number of bodies were buried beneath the square and the surrounding area. Remains are still occasionally found during construction and maintenance projects.
Engraved in the side of the tomb are these words:
"Freedom is a light for which many men have died in darkness"
"The independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint councils and joint efforts of common dangers, suffering and success." (Washington Farewell Address, Sept. 17, 1796)
"In unmarked graves within this square lie thousands of unknown soldiers of Washington's Army who died of wounds and sickness during the Revolutionary War."
The plaque on the tomb reads:
"Beneath this stone rests a soldier of Washington's army who died to give you liberty."
