Born in what was then the British colony of Virginia, Washington became a military officer, serving first for the British in the French and Indian War and then as commander-in-chief of the American land forces fighting for independence during the American Revolution. Following the American Revolution and the establishment of the United States of America, Washington was elected as the nation's first President.

During his encounter with Doctor Beverly Crusher, terrorist leader Kyril Finn compared himself to George Washington in his struggle to gain independence from the Rutians for the Ansatan people.

Quotes

“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.” (TOS novel: The Shocks of Adversity)
