==Decipher George's Will==
Washington gave his nephews the Swords or Cutteaux and they are to choose in the order they are named.
''These swords are accompanied with an injunction not to unsheath them for the purpose of shedding blood, except it be for self defense, or in '''defense of their Country & its rights'''; <u>and in the latter case</u>, to keep them unsheathed, and prefer falling with them in their hands, to the relinquishment thereof.''
My understanding, only to use the swords to protect America ideals/rights and only reliquish by dying in defense of America?
