The late President George Washington was a prominent figure in the American Revolution. He then moved to even greater heights after becoming the country's first president, where people praised him for his efforts to shape the country and its politics.

 

With his story continuously being told, many Americans continue to respect and cherish him. This is how they decided in 1885 to celebrate the birthday of George Washington. However, with time, it soon became known as Presidents' Day. It falls on the third Monday of February every year, now celebrating every American president.

 

Washington's Key Contribution

 

From leading the army against the British forces to shaping the United States as a newly formed country, there is more to Washington than meets the eye.

 

Aside from being the first president, he fought in the Revolutionary War as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, thus helping the colonies win the battle against Great Britain and eventually gain their independence.

 

The vision of a nation and its unity allowed him to conceptualize even the Constitution, with many of the presidential traditions, such as how the power is to be transferred to another person without violence made by him.

 

That is why it is essential to consider these contributions when acknowledging Presidents' Day to value the nation, its history, and the values President Washington defended.

 

Celebrating the Father of His Country

 

Most people associate President's Day with enormous discounts on beds and kitchen fittings; however, it is not the only celebration, as a few other history and educational events are organized throughout the state in honor of America's first president.

 

Today, various towns and cities often host special programs that delve into Washington's role in the American Revolution and his impact on the early days of the United States, along with parades and marching bands all over the street.
