Presidents Day
Monday February 16, 2009
Today, February 16th, we celebrate Presidents Day. Or do we? The official name of the federal holiday is Washington's Birthday. However, many states across the nation celebrate Presidents Day instead, combining the birthdays of two amazing presidents. George Washington's birthday is February 22nd and Abraham Lincoln's was on February 12th. In honor of Presidents day, take some time to learn about the Presidents of the United States. One great way to do this is to sign up for the weekly President's course. For 44 weeks, you will learn about the men who have shaped our nation.

Both of these great presidents deserve a day celebrating their births. It is a shame that they must share this day with those presidents that brought dishonor to this position.
