    Painful to note how observance of generic "Presidents’ Day" has eclipsed birthdays of Abraham Lincoln & George Washington.

        @BeschlossDC @ScottHoke1 I would bet that most school kids couldn't tell you their actual birthdays anymore. Anyone under 40 for that matter

        @BeschlossDC The saddest part is, like most history and traditions, the younger crowd doesn't know & they don't care that they don't know.

        Is this just a historians lament, or does it affect our public policies and the way we view history, and the path forward? @BeschlossDC
