While we mostly cite Presidents Washington and Lincoln on this day there were many other gentlemen who also fulfilled this role; although we may feel that they did not make a significant historical impact on our country.
Yesterday I learned that President Ulysses S. Grant died of throat and tongue cancer. History has deemed that President Grant was not a great President; but, was a great General.
I realize how little I know of the 40+ men who have led our country to what it is today and the sacrifices, worries and burdens that they have had to endure as they have been in office to guide our country and preserve our democracy and the right to be Americans with all of its privileges and liberties.
Today don't just enjoy the day off or the sales; but, take time to honor all of these men.
