The Day, a note.

This is, for 2024, the official commemoration, at the Federal level, of Washington's Birthday.


At the state level it is "President's Day", singular, in Alaska, Idaho, Maryland, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wyoming.  It bears other names in other states.  The change in name was to add Lincoln's memory to the honor of the day.  Both men were born in February.

It doesn't honor all Presidents.  Not all are worth honoring.
