Happy President Day!!Today, we celebrate the lives of the leaders of this country, both elected, and chosen by the supreme court.
From AOL News, ""By George (Washington), it's a swell birthday!
Today, by federal statute, Americans celebrate the birth of the county's first president. Officially called Washington's Birthday, the holiday is now observed on the third Monday of February, rather than Washington's actual birthday.
Many state and local governments use the holiday to honor Abraham Lincoln as well, since he was born in February, too. The federal government, however, never made such a distinction.
Either way, it's a day off of work for some, school for many, and an excuse to travel, shop or just indulge. But in between hitting the sales and propping those feet up on the coffee table, pause a minute to remember the reason for the holiday.""
This is a special group of people, and in a way club. Now for the first time in history there is a African - American among them.
