On today's date, in 1754, George Washington (then commander of Fort Necessity in the British army during the French and Indian War), surrenders the fort to the French.
However, 21 years later on this same date in 1775, General George Washington takes command of the American Continental Army at Cambridge, Massachusetts. We all know how that turned out. I would say he redeemed himself, wouldn't you?
