Happy Presidents' Day!

U.S. Presidents' Day was originated as a day to celebrate the birthday of George Washington, the first president of the United States. Observed as a national bank holiday on the third Monday of February, it is now known as Presidents' Day.

"While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents’ Day is popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and present." ~History.com
