Presidents Day? More Than Just A Sale? Really?!

Do you even know why we celebrate this day? Some people think only in the terms of a great time to go shopping and get some GREAT deals.

I have spent the entire afternoon looking up quotes from past Presidents and am inspired by many of them. It's interesting to see what our country was originally founded on and where we have gone. Here are a few I would love to share:
