Hail to the Chief!
Presidents' Day is a time to remember the contributions that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln gave to our country. The first gave birth to our nation by leading us through the Revolutionary War. The second gave birth to our modern nation by leading us through the Civil War. However, Presidents' Day isn't limited to these two men, but every person (44 so far) who has held this important executive office in U.S. history.
