Thanks for the ping.

What they should do is bring back Washington's Birthday as a national holiday.

I could not agree more. The way interest in the General has been rebuilding over the past few years, perhaps we have reason to be hopeful.

Go to OPM's website... the Federal Holiday is still known as Washington's Birthday... accepted practice has made it Presidents' Day rather than federal law...

From http://www.opm.gov/fedhol/2002.htm :

This holiday is designated as "Washington's Birthday" in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees. Though other institutions such as state and local governments and private businesses may use other names, it is our policy to always refer to holidays by the names designated in the law.

As someone who considers George Washington to be among the greatest men of all time, I couldn't agree more. Americans should insist that his great contributions to our nation be taught throughout primary and secondary schools. We are the nation we are and we've accomplished what we have largely because George Washington was who he was. May God bless and keep him.
