Photo A0276: To recognize President George Washington’s Birthday, the 720th MP Battalion performed a skit, “I Cannot Tell A Lie.” The participants dressed in Colonial era costumes. A young George Washington, played by Conrad Babcock, the son of Colonel and Mrs. C.S. Babcock of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff SCAP, was caught cutting down a cherry tree. However, instead of young Washington being caught by his father, he was instead caught in the act by PFC Adrian Hoogerheid, Jr., of Able Company, and a member of the Colonial 720th MP Battalion. PFC Hoogerheid promptly issued the young man a Disciplinary Report.   Official U.S. Army Photograph.
