George Washington was born February 22, 1732. That is close to 300 years ago. Abraham Lincoln was born February 12, 1809. Over 200 years ago. No other presidents have even come close to inspiring the level of patriotism and freedom that these two will forever bare throughout history as the fathers of our nation. That is why it is up to us to really celebrate. If it were not for the brave and bold leadership of American Presidents, we would not have the freedom to do whatever it is that makes us happy. So, go celebrate. Use the nationally regulated set Monday to enjoy time with family, friends or even just time with yourself because President Washington lead brave men against the forces that threatened that freedom and President Lincoln fought to make sure that the men and women that bare that freedom hold it dearly at their side with their dignity and head held high knowing that we are nation that believes every man and woman was created equal, that we have the right to speak our minds even if it is in disbelief of that equality, One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
