To the left is George Washington’s actual Uniform, “A regular Uniform of Blue, turn’d up with Buff; with plain yellow metal Buttons, Buff Waist Coat & Breeches, & white Stockings……little did Washington realize that blue and buff would remain in his wardrobe for the rest of his life and would come to symbolize for future generations of Americans not only his own public service and sacrifices as a citizen-soldier, but also those of his revolutionary compatriots.” So, I pray to you as a fellow Drum Major and compatriot, do not let any such ideas be acted upon thus desecrating a sacred symbol. “Buff”- a soft,…
