I like the way that old gentlemen introduced the tomb as a sacred place in a most respectful manner, I'm not American, but I think people should pay their respect when visiting such a special historical place.
This man, although not without his flaws as with any human, was truly the embodiment of what it is to be a true Patriot. Without his courage it is likely the US would never have existed.
@@DarrenMalin No. King George III betrayed his subjects and broke the divine contract and made a mockery out of it when he refused to let the colonists handle taxation issues on their own like before the French and Indian War and then he declared in late 1775 that he will hunt down and kill all the leaders of the Revolution. Until that time the colonists still officially loved the King and the UK and wanted to simply get their taxation rights back. George III killed it when he decided to proceed with defeating and executing the leaders of the Revolution. Look at the flag that Washington and the patriots used. That first U.S. flag had the Union Jack because the 13 colonies still wanted to stay in the UK until George III declared total war on them.
@@nogoodnameleft George III did not say anything . George III was not in power at that time the UK parliament was. The UK was already a constitutional monarchy by this time. Your rant is based on a falsehood.
I stood right there and read George Washington’s prayer for the nation, and my son placed a wreath next to the Generals marble enclosure. Such an honor, and something Zach will never forget.
Stone Trellis :: Very true! It is so amazing to see the things that Washington used. I hope the citizens of the USA will always treat Mount Vernon as a sacred place. I am very afraid that the dumbing down of the American people by the fascist left of our education system will keep Americans from realizing the meaning of freedom and what our founding fathers sacrificed their wealth and lives to found this great nation. I am afraid most children will think he is some old dead dude. I think this dumbing down of our population was done purposely so people will not think America is a special place and there is no reason to protect and save this GREAT NATION.

At age 65 I can remember first thing in the morning during grade school making the pledge of allegiance to the flag of The United States of America. Sadly this practice went by the way side, and now look at our society's lack of respect for our freedoms won by those who came before us.
My family visited Mt Vernon every year. George Washington is the original American hero and the embodiment of all that is good and excellent in a leader. I have very fond and happy memories of this national treasure. God bless America.
Thank you for showing George Washington the respect he deserves he was a great man and without him we would probably still be ruled by Britain in a very bad government he shall always be remembered no Matter how long ago because he changed the future for us an for the world
@@johnwhoskins6446 he had slaves that is true. But who didn’t? And before he died he expressed how the idea of slavery was wrong but he wasn’t the president anymore.

Wow. He changed how the world works. I'm proud of him even tho I'm not American. I'm sure my freedom today in my country was because of people like him. He set an example. Not sure about some modern presidents tho LOL
Chris Ward correct. In Latin America a man from today Venezuela named Simon Bolivar was inspired by him and he came to more not Vernon to speak with him. Also in Mexico a general Iturbe dreaming to meet him to made a union think USA and Mexico one Union. What a shame
What a lovely and very respectful tribute to America's first president. I am glad that his life and legacy are honoured by such a dedicated and eloquent group of people.
Shame how the original actor hates George Washington over the slavery issue (GW freed his slaves, btw) but he has no problem playing the role of a lifetime and profiting off of Washington's great legacy. I always thought it was hilarious how he played Washington and did a fantastic job in "Hamilton" and then went to a George Washington University seminar and Mount Vernon and claimed that he doesn't really like Washington, HAHAHAHA. If he really hated Washington he wouldn't even bother to go to anything that has Washington's name associated with it, right?
I can't imagine what it is like being next to that tomb. George Washington, so near yet so far. I copied and paste this from the Mt. Vernon site. They have a section about ghosts at Mt. Vernon. Whatever your beliefs are I thought this was really interesting. an interpreter from 2006, explains what happened to her at George Washington's Tomb. The first time I experienced this “ghost” was Easter morning in 2006 when I was scheduled to open Washington’s Tomb. It was early and very quiet and there was no one around - the guests had not made their way from the Mansion. I stood in front of the open door and I saw an ectoplasm in the far right corner of the Tomb. When I moved, the ectoplasm moved. I watched as it became a blur in my vision and it continued to move around. I took a photo that showed a streak of light through the blur. The second photo showed the blur. As soon as voices of the guests coming down the hill could be heard, the ectoplasm disappeared. This happened on three different occasions.
I do not want to die and have to pass George Washington and tell him we lost our country on my watch!!!!! To hell with the global reset, global warming, socialism and communism!!

I shall stand with George Washington as a real patriotic citizen for what is still good in my own life no matter what age we are anyway rest in peace President George Washington and his wife Martha.
George Washington was persecuted by the press and those in Congress just like Lincoln..Kennedy....Reagan..Trump. He was a Christian and prayed often on the Battlefield for the troops etc. Prayer was a big deal to him, historically but its often left unsaid, a thing which I am sure he would not like as he felt God lead and any good he did from God only.
Lincoln was not persecuted by the press, not the domestic press anyway Anybody that dared print negative stories, particularly if it they spoke out against his war, would be locked up without charges
I think George Washington was the best president, he showed us the standards we should have for a great president, and without that man america would not be here he was a natural born leader.
Other relatives are buried back there. GW would also be behind the door had not the marble casing been to big to fit. So it sits there today. Martha's was built later and she too was brought out.
When will you ever go behind the wall to see who else is buried back there? I still find it hard to believe that his marble sarcophagus / casket; and / or door at the back wall could have been mis-measured so horribly. OR We're the miscalculations (??) a silent form of slave rebellion? Just some food for thought.
George Whitefields spirit filled preaching across the colonies dramatically influenced that generation. They lived every day of their lives with eternity stamped on their eyes.
The pledge includes liberty and justice for all, which did not apply in Washington's time, when masters could assault, rape and even murder their slaves without answering to the law.
Thank you for allowing us to attend. I just there should have been mention something nice about Mrs. Washington. Yes she has a plain top on her marker but she still did many good works as well. She was a fine & remarkable women to be the wife of such a remarkable man like our (Pres. & Gen) George Washington. I heard that if not for the fact that Mrs. Washington's coffen would not fit in that small doorway that she two would have been inside and not by her husband, is this true? How did they get the other coffens inside that tiney door? I thank you for your time.
He died of old age and was buried at home He was first and foremost a citizen and not a ruler, unlike later presidents In those days state office was also considered higher than federal office
One of the biggest tragedies of American history is that Washington lived before photos and videos, but alas we will have to settle for this. I visited Mt. Vernon about 10 years ago, it was an amazing way to honor an extraordinary man. Without a doubt, he was our best president and did more for our country than any of our other political figures.
By far our best president. Nobody else comes close at all. Without him the country would have been dead before 1810. Imagine if Jefferson or Madison were president in the 1790s during the French Revolution. They would have declared war on the UK and we would have been destroyed by the British who had a much better army in the 1790s than during the Revolution. The British would have at the very least divided the country up and scheme to divide the USA into 2 or 3 separate countries. Washington and Jay's Treaty prevented all of that.
This, and Washington's whole example, illustrates the distinction between a people, of any color race creed gender etc etc, following a set of principles and another people following a mere human mortal. The greatness in Washington, and usually in America, is that we made the former choice, not the latter. This is why there is no official language...and cannot be. This is why there is no official religion...and cannot be. This is why we need not fear those of different color but must be very afraid of those who seek to undermine our institutions and the principles on which they are founded. This is why we must INCREASE OUR EFFORTS to educate ourselves and our children in the knowledge of these founding principles. No, not merely the Constitution (which is, by design, highly malleable) but rather the CIVICS principles on which it is based. We need more civics classes, more political and sociological education. Fear those who turn us away from these sources of wisdom. Do NOT fear those who look different.
who else would open the tomb to look at him no lie I would have opened its for all dead legends. who wouldn't the man was alive during the late 1700 who.
If you look at the Pledge of Allegiance in the written form, there is NO comma between the phrase "one Nation under God" which means there is no pause in the oral version. It is not "one Nation" pause "under God". We should really say the Pledge correctly.
I wonder if the host in this video is aware that the gold fringe means that that is a corporate flag of the "United States" and not an "American" flag of the Republic that President Washington fought for.
thank you George Washington's Mount Vernon . i should confess i love president Washington wholeheartedly . i have a question ,i guess i saw some freemasonry symbolism is this video , am i right ?
That's the thing about Freemason conspiracy theorists. If they are so bad then should we hate Washington who was a huge mason (there is a Masonic George Washington Monument)? I refuse to ever condemn Washington.

Ken Chan it follows his life as he was a humble man.
He was a president, not a king.
Lincoln's tomb is much more elaborate.
@Glenn Wishart coffins back then were lead.
It's amazing that Washington's tomb is a simple marble tomb & not an elaborate tomb like Grant, McKinley or Garfield.
Sam Bradley a simple who can be inspired to be a king and refuses. Sometimes I think if USA choose to be a monarchy instead of a republic.
Appropriate to Washington's humility.
Actually in my view it was very elite and well deserved. Just me.
it was in his will

This is why we need not fear those of different color but must be very afraid of those who seek to undermine our institutions and the principles on which they are founded. This is why we must INCREASE OUR EFFORTS to educate ourselves and our children in the knowledge of these founding principles. No, not merely the Constitution (which is, by design, highly malleable) but rather the CIVICS principles on which it is based. We need more civics classes, more political and sociological education. Fear those who turn us away from these sources of wisdom. Do NOT fear those who look different.
The greatest American to exist
can tourists visit the tomb
My only issue is that the curator failed to remove his hat while saying The Pledge of Allegiance!
His hand was over his heart though.
who else would open the tomb to look at him no lie I would have opened its for all dead legends. who wouldn't the man was alive during the late 1700 who.
There are 3 coffens under the first
I'm just bones right now, nothing much to look at.
George Washington lmfao
Just a bunch of bones, nothing special.
Im sure it's sealed
In these times to hear the pledge of allegiance to the flag is choking me up! At the tomb of the founding father.
Just the fact there is someone who led the revolutionary war, 1st president of the United states and died 200 years ago is in there is crazy
Wow
If you look at the Pledge of Allegiance in the written form, there is NO comma between the phrase "one Nation under God" which means there is no pause in the oral version. It is not "one Nation" pause "under God". We should really say the Pledge correctly.
Who cares? Just be glad they aren't like liberals who don't even say God in the pledge.
My favorite President.
Thank you god and mr president for creating the nation to be the leader of free world we can't imagine the world without america..

George Washington is 389 years old
I wonder if the host in this video is aware that the gold fringe means that that is a corporate flag of the "United States" and not an "American" flag of the Republic that President Washington fought for.
thank you George Washington's Mount Vernon
. i should confess i love president Washington wholeheartedly .
i have a question ,i guess i saw some freemasonry symbolism is this video , am i right ?
That's the thing about Freemason conspiracy theorists. If they are so bad then should we hate Washington who was a huge mason (there is a Masonic George Washington Monument)? I refuse to ever condemn Washington.
he is the father of our nation.
❤❤❤❤❤
