There are numerous things which made George Washington a special man. A founding father of the nation, he made an innumerable amount of contributions to the Constitution and the idea of a free Republic. Some of his obvious achievements included being the first president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Some of his less notable distinctions were having dentures, due to popular belief that they were made out of wood, made out of ivory, hippo tusks, and other human teeth. He was also the only general to be given 6 stars, the 6th given to him posthumously in 1976.
