Happy Constitution and Citizenship Day!


Happy Constitution and Citizenship Day everybody! I commemorate this day because in the United States, this is the day that our Constitution was ratified as well as the day that we commemorate all freedom loving citizens around the world.

I hope that wherever you’re at in the world, and whoever’s reading this, does really appreciate the freedoms, and rights they have in any Democratic Republic around the world. So here’s to all the freedom loving individuals in the various 196 to 250 countries in the world.

Happy Flag Day!

Today we pay homage to 1 of our nation’s greatest symbols. The flag of the United States of America, itself. Where the red and white stripes represent the 13 colonies that began our country’s history and the 50 stars denote each of the individual states in our current union.

On a side note, I support any country around the world having a day to commemorate its own flag, and taking pride in its own history.

I’m looking at you other 195 to 249 countries around the world, depending on your definition of a country, to show your pride.

Happy Presidents' Day!

 

Today is a day used to commemorate all the individuals who have been given the title President of the United States in our country’s history. We casually call this day that occurs every 3rd Monday in February, Presidents’ Day. But in actuality if you look back at the history of this holiday. It’s the combination of 2 holidays in one. George Washington’s Birthday is actually on February 22nd, and was celebrated on that particular day since 1879. But Abraham Lincoln’s birthday also used to be celebrated separately as a federal holiday on February 12th throughout the years since 1866. One year after his assassination by the famous stage actor John Wilkes Booth. The Uniform Holidays Act of 1968 is what shifted Washington and Lincoln’s birthdays to the same day and combined the 2 into one holiday. Instead of 2 separate holidays like it had been prior to 1968. However, there has been no law officially changing the actual name from what it had been, which was Washington’s Birthday to Presidents’ Day. But all Americans as I said in this modern time, on their own refer to it as simply Presidents’ Day which allows for the remembrance of every president to be encompassed into one day.
