Leesburg is a lovely, small and historic town in Virginia's horse and wine country about an hour west of Washington, DC. While there for Mike's and Randee's wedding we took the opportunity to explore the town's historic district, surrounding countryside and stately antebellum mansions, nearby Waterford, a tiny gem of a village that has changed little in two centuries, and the Ball's Bluff Battlefield, site of one of the earliest significant engagements between Union and Confederate forces in the Civil War.

George Cattlett Marshall

Marshall's name was given to the Marshall Plan, subsequent to a commencement address he presented as Secretary of State at Harvard University in the June of 1947. The speech recommended that the Europeans collectively create their own plan for rebuilding Europe after World War II noting, "It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world." The State Department developed most of the plan, and Truman was shrewd enough to let Marshall's name be attached to it. Unlike Truman, Marshall was widely admired by members of both political parties. Marshall received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953 for the plan, which was aimed at the economic recovery of Western Europe after World War II.
