General Washington was an absolute pleasure to work with. All of our guests loved interacting with him. He stayed true to character and is extremely knowledgeable about American history which added a special element to our American Revolutionary-themed event. Thank you very much for coming to our event!
Response from Col. George Washington:
Thank you for the opportunity to be of service. Your humble servant. G. W.
Col. George Washington was absolutely wonderful. His presents with the community was superb. Everyone loved him including me. Thank you so very much Dr. Bill.
The theme for our event was Celebrate America...United We Stand. George Washington was a wonderful addition and our guests thoroughly enjoy taking pictures with him and the interaction. George was very professional. I would highly recommend him to any one holding event.
Col. George Washington was an asset to the Monumental Bicentennial event held in Mount Vernon, Baltimore, MD, a memorable and historical event for the citizens locally and nationally. This George Washington re-enactor is very knowledgeable about George Washington's life, at all stages, and played the part perfectly.
As the aide to General George Washington of Mount Vernon, Virginia, I met this gentleman on Constitution Avenue in Washington, District of Columbia on 9-11-2010, as one of many Patriots from the Past who came to rescue America today. Not only is this man impressive as Colonel George Washington, he is a scholar on George Washington, with a book he has written.
