The third Monday of February is designated as a federal holiday in celebration of President's Day for Americans to reflect on our nation and its founding fathers, as well as its values and traditions. Take a moment today to celebrate history, leadership, and the impact of strong role models.
Four of our nation's former chief executives were born in February - George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, William Henry Harrison, and Ronald Reagan - so this holiday has come to be celebrated in most states in honor of all U.S. Presidents past and present.
Legend has it that George Washington chopped down a cherry tree during his youth. When asked by his father about it, he said, "I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my hatchet." Whether you believe this mythical tale is true or not, have a Happy President's Day!
