                            President’s day

Yesterday was a February 20^th.  In the United States it was President’s day.  During that day people in the United States remember their president’s history and talk between each other about why it’s President day, or why it was supposed to be Washington’s Birthday not President day.

According to Google news, President’s day started in 1971. Also, it is made to celebrate the birthday of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln but also it meant to honor all the presidents.

 Moreover it is interesting to know more about why February the 20^th is President’s day. According to a man named Victor and his girlfriend Mallory, the country needed a day to honor the people who took the leadership of the country.

According to Bradley Wilson and Erin miller, it is President’s day because it is close to Washington birthday as well as Lincoln’s birthday. Also, according to Bradley Wilson and Erin Miller  it is good to have a presidency day so people who live in the United states appreciate what the governments of the U,S.A have done. 

                       

Some people say that it was supposed to just be a celebration of Washington’s Birthday, not a President’s day.

According to “The Los Angles times” it is not a President’s or a national day, it is supposed to be Washington’s Birthday because his birth date is close to February the twentieth. “The Los Angles Times” also stated that there was confusion about what the day was actually for which lead to it being called President’s day.
