Honoring our presidents. Presidents' Day
Presidents' Day, celebrated on the third Monday in February, is a time for Americans to reflect on the legacies of those who have served in the country's highest office. The day is officially Washington's Birthday at the federal level, but it has evolved into a celebration that recognizes the achievements of all US presidents. Parades and patriotic displays are held across the country, and many people take the opportunity to learn about presidential history.
