Front: George Washington, First President, United States of America, February 22, 1732, December 14, 1799. “First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen.” ~ Henry “Lighthorse Harry Lee” Back: “The basis of our political system s is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all.” “Let the reins of Government be braced, and held with a steady hand, and every violation of the Constitution be reprehended. If defective, let it be amended, but not suffered to be trampled upon.” “It is the duty of all nations, to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor.” “Father of Mercies, take me to thyself.”
