Thank you, Mr Weems. This February, I visited the Maryland state house for the first time and stood in “the room where it happened,” commemorating Washington resigning his commission. I had forgotten that bit of history but have been thinking about it a lot, and agree that Joe Biden’s decision deserves equivalent respect, honor and gratitude. You’re one of only 2-3 that I’ve seen making this connection. I appreciate you :)

Thanks, Deecy. I was one of those nerdy kids who read the story of Cincinnatus growing up. I hadn’t thought about him in years until Biden stepped aside.
