I have a pet peeve about dismissing presidents’ birthdays to obtain a three day weekend- to me it’s like Rodney Dangerfield: “I get no respect”. Maybe I’m, we’ll there’s no maybe about it, when it comes to this, I AM old school—give one of the greatest presidents ever some respect!
Lincoln’s Birthday is a legal, public holiday in some U.S. states, observed on the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln‘s birth on February 12, 1809, in Hodgenville (Hodgensville, Hodgen’s Mill), Kentucky.[1] Connecticut,[2] Illinois,[3]Indiana,[4] Michigan,[5] Ohio,[6] California,[7]Missouri,[8] and New York[9] observe the holiday.

Thank you for this! He is my favorite President, too. My office was decorated with Abraham Lincoln Memorabilia for 15 years. Many thought it odd. That’s ok–I didn’t mind!

How wonderful! Mine too! We share this in common. My Dad taught history and I was obsessed with the Civil War (still am). My favorite trip when I lived in my RV was going to his hometown of Springfield, Illinois. Sorry for sharing so much! It’s just nice to talk with someone about it!!

Yes! I failed to mention I took my sons there when they were teenagers (their first airplane trip). It truly was!
