George Washington was born on Feb. 22, 1732 (Feb. 11, 1731/2, old style) in Westmoreland County, Va. While in his teens, he trained as a surveyor, and at the age of 20 he was appointed adjutant in the Va. militia. For the next three years, he fought in the wars against the French and Indians, serving as Gen. Edward Braddock's aide in the disastrous campaign against Ft. Duquesne. In 1759, he resigned from the militia, married Martha Dandridge Custis, a widow with children, and settled down as a gentleman farmer at Mount Vernon, Va. As a militiaman, Washington had been exposed to the arrogance of the British officers, and his experience as a planter with British commercial restrictions increased his anti-British sentiment. He opposed the Stamp Act of 1765 and after 1770 became increasingly prominent in organizing resistance. A delegate to the Continental Congress, Washington was selected as commander in chief of the Continental Army and took command at Cambridge, Mass., on July 3, 1775.

How to Make a Donation to the UUA-UUSC Gulf Coast Relief Fund Members of the Gulf Coast UU Fellowship at the site for their new home. Photo by Annette Marquis. "Members of the (UU) Gulf Coast congregation describe turning down streets to check on a friend and finding nothing but rubble or going to a store and finding it gone. Their entire reality has shifted." September 22: Reinforcements Rev. Martha Munson arrived Tuesday evening to begin to offer some pastoral care to the Gulf Coast congregation. Approximately one quarter of this fellowship lost their homes to Katrina and another quarter have family members who lost their homes. Although all but one of the members have been contacted and all are OK, some have left the area and it is uncertain if and when they will return. Efforts are continuing to find the one member the congregation has not been able to reach. Add this to the normal stressors of life, illness, marital problems, financial worries, etc., and you have one fragile congregation. One member aptly describes them as "hanging on by their fingernails." While much of the media attention has focused on New Orleans, communities on the Mississippi Gulf Coast such as Bay St. Louis, Waveland, and Pass Christian were equally impacted. In fact, many of these communities were wiped off of the map entirely. Entire neighborhoods have been reduced to sticks and foundations. Members of this congregation describe turning down streets to check on a friend and finding nothing but rubble or going to a store and finding it gone. Their entire reality has shifted. One member described feeling like she was far away from home because nothing she sees is familiar to her anymore.
