On Presidents Day, we should think about two of our countries greatest presidents. One, George Washington, was a very truthful man. Im sure you all know the story about George Washington, as a small boy, chopping down his fathers cherry tree. He also led our country to victory by crossing the Delaware in the middle of a cold stormy night to pull a surprise attack on the British. President Abraham Lincoln helped free the blacks of the south of slavery He is also famous for the Address, given when he was a presidentual candidate, giving us great knowledge and advice. . These two great presidents were major benefactors in forming our country into what it is today. If these two men could devote so much of their lives to us and our country then whey cant we spend only one day out of the year devoted to their memory? ! Get-tisbur- On Presidents Day, I feel we should honor these two great Presidents for what they did for our country. Susan Adair What Presidents Day Means To Me Presidents Day is the day we remember two of our nations greatest presidents. First we remember the Father of our country, George Washington, and all that he did to help our nation Be a nation. We also remember Araham Lincoln, who tried to stop slavery in the South. These two great presidents did alot towards helping to get our nation started. They won many battles, both in politics and in war ; so our nation decided to dedicate one day out of every year to these famous leaders. Presidents Day to me, means that our nation should be able to draw together and be proud that theyre Americans, and proud that America is a good, strong, free nation! Presidents Day also means that government workers can get a day off work, and spend some time with their families. On Presidents Day, America has cherry pie, to tribute George Washington, for cutting down the cherry tree. Presidents Day is a truly great and important day, especially since we get out of school for it! ! continued on page 3 A l |
