These times certainly call for a Great Man to become our next president. It would be nice if a candidate we’re currently considering would turn out to be a Washington or Lincoln. We can only hope...
And remember when Veterans Day used to be Armistice Day?
And remember when people actually knew the reason for holidays such as Memorial Day?
IIRC officially it is still Washington’s Birthday at the federal level. Some states may change the name.
Suffolk County (surrounding Boston MA) still celebrates ‘Evacuation Day’ which as luck would have it happens to be March 17th.
yet MLK has a day named after him.
some folks are even doing away with columbus day
Apparently, you are the only one who is not celebrating today. Just a fast run into the local Wally World. School age children running about the store (school closed today). Stopped at the bank drive thru. Waited a few moments - nothing but silence. DH said what is going on here? Light bulb lit. President’s day, duh!! Neither Lincoln nor Washington has had a birthday celebration in years. It seems we’ve degraded these men by combining all into ‘Presidents Day’ with there being no available sign of opposition. Some might not wish to celebrate such a special, personal day with another whether friend or foe. Our politicians have all the answers they just fail to hear the question.
