George Washington's Tomb 

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.

His birthday is no longer a holiday, what a shame !!

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.

I recently visited Mt. Vernon and did the tour of the house. It was amazing to look into a mirror that George Washington himself used to look into.

I visited Mount Vernon and saw the tomb in 2010. Such a humble tomb for such a monumental figure in world history. I like it.

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.

I am so proud to be a American. long live America. blessed be.

God Bless America 🇺🇸

God bless my beautiful country 🙏 GOD BLESS AMERICA🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Amerikalı değilim ama abd kurucus olan george washington saygım sonsuzdur Buyuk insanlar hiç bir zaman unutulmazlar. ıskender Napolyon Timur Cengiz han Fatih sultan selim 2 abdulhamid Ataturk Lenin Stalin 1 elizabeht Unutulmazlar

The founding father tomb is quite simple, I am surprised is not more grander

Thank you for this honor to pay respects to the first President of these United States and his beloved wife.

Salute Patriots. God Bless America. Land That We Love.

It's amazing that Washington's tomb is a simple marble tomb & not an elaborate tomb like Grant, McKinley or Garfield.

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

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.

What a wonderful video !!! The lovely gentleman did such a great job describing and paying respect to George Washington's tomb . I love Mount Vernon !!!

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

Mr. President. Those words are even more needed today more than ever! Thank you, for your service, guidance and inspiration all these 240 years.

I am doing a project on him and tomorrow when I turn this in it will be his birthday

George Washington was a GREAT PATRIOT and a man to be held in reverence for all time.

visited Mount Vernon on Wednesday.......definitely a surreal moment visiting the sacred tomb of George Washington.

The marble doesnt look sealed. Does that mean the top can be removed and if so would you see his coffin or atleast his vault?

I wonder where the tombs are of the people he enslaved?

You have to give George Washington a lot of credit, for doing what he did , creating America

All protesters shall not enter this area of Virginia buried and America grave site of George and Martha Washington tomb every police officers and U.S. Army shall protect these beautiful site and honor George Washington for his time for his country courage and leadership and with his army with British and America of the wars he didn't care how much loses in war he always had waiting call and keep his troops alive enough but alot didn't because of weather issues i say thank u Mr George Washington for what he did for his country of liberty and celebrate happy 4th of July with him and our USA 🇺🇸 flag of freedom the flag shall be equally with good people not evil psychopath protester group of demon devil's cause that's what u people are every time they burn America Flag they want to erase all old centuries of history. 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.

Washington: ONE LAST TIME...🎶

Sad how his body might just be a skeleton with 1800's clothes. That amazing body, gone to waste.

God bless this wonderful curator! Responsibility well carried.

Great President!

There's needs to be a soldier standing guard at every president resting place.

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.

I am a proud American

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.

I may not be white but I am a proud american. I love history and would honor my country and defend the freedom.

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.

Star of David / Star of Bethlehem...

Thanks to the General my family came here from Ireland and Latvia and escaped the wrath of persecution and prospered. God Bless America.

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 was taught that when saying the pledge of allegiance men should remove their hat out of respect

I remember visiting this place, DC WAS AMAZING

This might be bad to say but the video is respectful but I somehow use it to fall asleep.

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.

It's crazy to think his remains are probably still on this earth

Let's all be like George

OMG George Washington upload this

Who’s here after Washington won the election in 1789?

I remember taking a selfie next to the sarcophagus...ah good times, this was like 10 years ago so I've obviously matured since then...

I always wanted to visit Mount Vernon. This video is a great introduction! Thank you.

needs to be more secure at night or day

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! GEORGE WASHINGTON I LOVE YOU!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

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.

My only issue is that the curator failed to remove his hat while saying The Pledge of Allegiance!

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 ?

❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

America was lucky to have a leader like President Washington. The First American

Why doesn’t his tomb have guards

The salute of the flag says It all Liberty and Justice for all unfortunately Donald Trump doesn't know the meaning of that.

Detective of money politics following this content cheers VK3GFS 73s Frank

His Excellency claimed the giant ring “kinnerhelm,” giver of the promised Kinnerfeld; he would finally claim the “Crown” of our blood and kin. He would not wear the helmet ring of power for one man alone, but keep faith in the Macedonian way. A kiss for kiss and blood for blood, no man the better; but we feared the age of Kings had passed and begged a new born beginning. His Excellency General George Washington commanded and we obeyed: he ordered, “We have Thomas Jefferson’s Constitution now!” and he threw the Kinnerhelm far, far, and away.

I think if I walked inside, I would have a heart attack. That's how much I love and respect George Washington.

How about taking off your hat for the pledge to the flag 🇺🇸

No disrespect, but according to biblical accounts, all dead is acclaimed as one. "The day that our breath leaves our body, is as of we never existed until Jesus comes. Some to everlasting life, and some to everlasting punishment and eternal destruction. So it it now, right now that we have to make our calling and election sure. Anything short of that will be eternally too late

The prayer ended with the following "Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen."

Peaceful place.

I just LOVE. American history, I went to Washington DC when I was a kid , I still remember most of what I seen

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.

مقام جورج واشنطن العاصمة Washington DC ❤

Thank you.

In these times to hear the pledge of allegiance to the flag is choking me up! At the tomb of the founding father.

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 sir.

Sacred ? Sorry, it’s not a religious site. Important, yes, significant to America’s certainly, but it’s not scared

LMAO does anyone really think that the body of the first president is really there? come on people think. its a museum not a burial ground for the first president.

Thank you Sir!!!

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..

no offense but Washington was one of the best if the best Presidents we have ever had amirite?

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.

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

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.

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.

Crazy to think he actually existed 😰

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.

General and Lady Washington, We love you.

Alabama state is now the 1st to reput the ten commandments back in schools and govorment. And saids they want to make a biblical law including sunday law. And changing old laws like making it illegal fir same sex marriage. But now alabama will be the first states as individual to have biblical principles and church and state which is the image of the beast the govorner said if no one wants to abide by our laws thet can move to another state. Very soon they will issue a sunday law Which the mark of the beast is when sunday worship becomes law. God true sabbath is sat were not to work cook clean only rest on his seventh day sabbath Revelation 14 thru 16. And 19:20 talks about what will happen to those who takes the mark of the beast or his image

am wish to visit Gorge Washington mounmunt ❤

George Washington is 389 years old

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.

God bless Gorge Washington ❤ in heaven

it is a bit underwhelming IMHO

How could a man who leaned on God so much own slaves?

R.I.P George Washington.

History class brought me here

Did he say Newburgh, NY? What do ya know... That's my hometown.👌

lincoln grave is betterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr wow

From Washington to Trump. That’s a hell of a ride!
