Happy Presidents Day

Presidents Day is always on the third monday of February. This year the date falls on February 16th. President's day combines both George Washington's and Abe Lincoln's birthday and was established in 1968 when it was decided to change several federal holidays. The idea was to establish this law in 1971 so that all would fall on a monday and create a three day weekend. Presidents day was created to pay honor to all the men who have served as president.
