国会正式通过创建美国军队
1989年9月29日
华盛顿在1789年8月7日写了一封信提醒参议院与众议院，希望议员们能够通过创建美国军队的法律。他告诉议员们，他并不需要强调「我们国家的荣誉、安全，与福祉都和军队息息相关：但是就算我再三强调这点，也不应该被认为是我过度紧张。我们应该尽早关心这项议题，因为我们迟早会因为环境改变而需要军队。」作战部长 (Secretary
of War) 亨利．诺克斯 (Henry
Knox) 在国会议员面前大声宣读这封信，但是议员们并没有立即采取行动。
Washington wrote a letter on August 7, 1789, to remind the Senate and the House of Representatives to create provisions for the U.S. military. He told them he didn't need to argue for an issue on which the "honor, safety and well being of our Country so evidently and essentially depend: But it may not be amiss to observe that I am particularly anxious it should receive an early attention as circumstances will admit." The Secretary of War, Henry Knox, read this aloud to the members of Congress, but they did not immediately act upon it.
