President's Day Presidents' Day or Presidents Day???



The Presidents of the USA-Presidents Day

Presidents Day falls on the third Monday of February. This year Presidents' Day falls on February 15, 2010. Originally Presidents Day was known as Washington's Birthday on February 22nd. Then, America began celebrating Lincoln’s birthday on February 12th. So now both February 12 and February 22 were observed as federal public holidays. In 1971, President Richard Nixon combined the two holidays into one and ever since we have honored all past presidents on the third Monday of February. We celebrate the American presidency and the freedom it represents on this day.
