Did You Know That George Washington was Considered Bulletproof in his 20s?
As his legend began to grow, many people considered the future President George Washington to be bulletproof! During the Battle of Monongahela (1755), Washington earned this legend by leading his troops even when all other officers around him had been shot off of their horses. He left that battle with 4 bullet holes in his coat and 2 horses shot out from under him, but he was unscathed. The French were mystified. The Indian sharpshooters were amazed. Was Washington just lucky, or was he protected by a higher power?
