Presidents' Day is a time of patriotic celebration and remembrance of previous Commanders-In-Chief. The day was created to celebrate the birthday of President George Washington. Years after it's creation, President Abraham Lincoln's birthday was merged into this holiday, due to his birthday being in February. In modern times, many Americans celebrate all previous Presidents and pay tribute to them and their work. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl. Dalton Swanbeck)
