1. Washington Memorial Marker

Inscription.
Washington wears the uniform of the army he had led through six bitter years of war. In the midst of battle his fearless example inspired his men; when hunger stalked his weary troops, he shared their lot; when his own officers betrayed him he fought on. So that generals from nations across the sea came, one by one, to serve him proudly. And at last god granted his prayers for victory and peace.
The seated figures represent the forces that shaped his life: oppression, revolution, victory and the return to peace, symbolized by Cincinnatus, the citizen-soldier. The portrait busts are those of Washington's finest generals: the Marquis de Lafayette, Benjamin Lincoln, Nathanael Greene and Henry Knox.
