George Washington, Last Will and Testament, July, 1799
and George Mason, Last Will and Testament
(excerpted (pp. 92-93) from
Our Sacred Honor, edited by William Bennett)

Washington and Mason's love of country knew no bounds. At the Constitutional Convention, Mason said: "If I had a vein which did not beat with the love of my country, I myself would open it." Washington in his First Inaugural Speech, said that "I was summoned by my Country, whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and love."

Here, even in death, their patriotism is passed on to their descendants.

To each of my Nephews, William Augustine Washington, George Lewis, George Steptoe Washington, Bushrod Washington and Samuel Washington, I give one of the Swords or Cutteauz of which I may die possessed; and they are to chuse in the order they are named. These Swords are accompanied with an injunction not to unsheath them for the purpose of shedding blood, except it be for self defense, or in defense of their Country and its rights; and in the latter case, to keep them unsheathed, , and prefer falling with them in their hands, to the relinquishment thereof. -- From the last will and testament of George Washington

I recommend it to my sons, from my own experience in life, to prefer the happiness of independence and a private station to the troubles and vexations of public business; but if either their own inclinations or the necessity of the times should engage them in public affairs, I charge them, on a father's blessing, never to let the motives of private interest or ambitions to induce them to betray, nor the terrors of proverty and disgrace, or the fear of danger or of death detere them from asserting the liberty of their country, and endeavoring to transmit to their posterity those sacred rights to which themselves born. -- From the last will and testament of George Mason
