During the meeting of the Continental Congress, George Washington was the only attendee to wear a military uniform. He was also the only one in the chamber that had combat leadership experience during the French and Indian War. One duty of the Congress was to select a commander for the newly formed Continental Army, which was to battle the British and secure America's independence. To the delegates, Washington became the obvious choice for that position. Upon receiving his commission, Washington said, "I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with."
