                “Presidents Day”
            Presidents day is an American holiday, celebrated on the third Monday of February. It was first established in 1885 in honor of George Washington and was called “Washington’s birthday”. It was not until the late 1870’s that it became a federal holiday. By the mid 1980’s countries decided to change the name to “President’s Day to honor every president. Washington and Lincoln still remain the most recognized leaders up to this date. A way to show honor on president’s day is by hanging your American flag out.
