Presidents' Day Fun Facts!

PRESIDENTS' DAY

Monday, February 20 marks Presidents' day, a day known for celebrating the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Presidents' day was created in 1971, when President Richard Nixon combined the birthdays of two of our most well-known presidents into one single federal holiday. Although Presidents' Day is a federal holiday and marks a hard-earned day off from work and school for many of our patients, we at Thomas Family Dentistry will be open to care for your dental needs.

Here are a few fun facts about our nation's presidents:

• Abraham Lincoln, our 16th president, carried letters, bill and notes in his stovepipe hat.
• George Washington is the first president to be featured on a postage stamp.
• Abraham Lincoln was also the tallest president, measuring 6'4".
• Virginia is the birthplace of more US presidents than any other state.
• Harry S. Truman was the first president to have a televised inauguration.

Have a great Presidents' Day!

God Bless,
