Presidents Day

One holiday for two great presidents, Lincoln and Washington. Each of these presidents was great enough to have their own holiday. And at one time, they did.

But in our rush to institutionalize holidays, and make them fit in school and bank schedules, we may have accidentally improved on two great holidays. By making one day devoted to all great presidents.

One great president proved his high expectation for the country and each of us in one sentence.

"The ablest man I ever met is the man you think you are."
- Franklin D. Roosevelt.

As we celebrate Presidents' Day, let's acknowledge that it's really a tribute to all greatness. To all leadership.

Enjoy the holiday!
