Hail To The Chiefs.....President Day Resources

Me at the White House
February is a month of two of America's most well known President's Birthdays; Abraham Lincoln February 12th and George Washington February 22nd. Washington's Birthday was created as a Federal Holiday in 1879 during the President of Rutherford B. Hayes as a way to commemorate the first president.  

In 1971 under the Uniform Holiday Act Washington's Birthday was moved to the Third Monday in February. Although it is still is officially celebrated by the Federal Government  as Washington's Birthday in modern time it is more commonly referred to as President's Day, a date to celebrate all our US Presidents.
