GLENDA
Good Morning: Today is President’s Day. In the early 1800’s, people
celebrated George Washington’s Birthday on February 22nd. In the late
1960’s, the date was changed to the third Monday in February, primarily to
give working people a three day weekend. Since this new date fell between
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, most people began to
celebrate both of those great Presidents and, thus, the name President’s Day,
instead of George Washington Day and soon the day was spent celebrating
all Presidents.
A lot of Americans did not like calling this day “President’s Day,” because
they felt some Presidents didn’t need to be remembered! However you
prefer to celebrate this day, take a moment to pray for our country and for
President Obama. God bless the USA!
