Title: President's Day (US Holiday)
Post by: Phillip V on February 18, 2013, 09:26:10 AM
Today is an American holiday: President's Day (Washington's Birthday)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington's_Birthday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington's_Birthday)

First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his fellow citizens. Happy Washington's Birthday.


“The more I am acquainted with agricultural affairs, the better I am pleased with them; insomuch, that I can no where find so great satisfaction as in those innocent and useful pursuits. In indulging these feelings, I am led to reflect how much more delightful to an undebauched mind, is the task of making improvements on the earth, than all the vain glory which can be acquired from ravaging it, by the most uninterrupted career of conquests.”

-George Washington, 1788
