The watchers of our nation, four former presidents of the United States of America. George Washington was the first president. Thomas Jefferson was responsible for the Louisiana Purchase. Theodore Roosevelt was the nation's first environmentalist. Abraham Lincoln was responsible for preserving the United States during the Civil War.

Like the four incredible men on this huge rock,this country stands for freedom, honesty, peace, and courage.

God Bless America.
