Associated Press. Rain-spattered Churchill Gazes at Statue, 1946
Arriving at the Virginia state capitol during a rainstorm, Churchill paused in the Rotunda to view a statue of George Washington, in whose armies some of Churchill's ancestors had fought during the American Revolution. Speaking to the Virginia General Assembly, Churchill repeated the call he had made earlier in his "Iron Curtain" speech: "Above all, among the English-speaking peoples, there must be the union of hearts based upon conviction and common ideals. That is what I offer. That is what I seek."
