Today February 15, 2010, is designated Presidents Day by our dear Congress.
Two of our greatest presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, once had their own individual holidays, but now share this day.
George Washington was our first president and was the General who led our troups in the successful fight against the British Red coats, resulting in our freedom to govern ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln was president during the horrible civil war and he was called The Great Emancipator because the slaves were freed and the United States was united forever.
January 18, 2010 was Martin Luther King Holiday. We have this holiday because Martin Luther King had a dream.
