Today is Presidents Day, a time set aside to honor all those who have served as the country’s chief executive.
On a federal level, the day honors the country’s first president, George Washington, whose birthday is Feb. 22. The 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, is traditionally included in the official celebration, though some states, like Alabama, omit the Civil War-era leader. Lincoln’s birthday is Feb. 12.
