President's Day was originally established in 1885
in recognition of our first President George Washington.
It was so named after the 1971 Uniform Monday
Holiday Act, an atempt to create more
three-day weekends for the nation's workers.
Presidents Day now celebrates
ALL U.S.A. presidents - past and present.

Thank You today and to tell them how much
you love them and how much they mean to you
not only today but all the year through.
