Today's Reason to Celebrate

February 21, 2011 is

President's Day

Believe it or not, this day has been celebrated since George Washington was in office, originally as a commemoration of our first president's birthday. Today, it is a day of celebration for all of our presidents, past and present, and is a tribute for all that they have done for our nation.

From George Washington to Barack Obama, American Presidents have been the face of our nation, symbolizing leadership, charisma, and diligence. As the country's chief executive, the President has many responsibilities while in office. They must prepare national budgets, enforce federal laws, appoint federal officials, act as Commander in Chief, and much more.

President's Day is a great opportunity to learn more about American history and civic responsibility. Happy President's Day!
