Presidents Day - 3rd Monday in February - Morning Meditation

While for many, Presidents’ Day is an opportunity to relish what is the glorious three-day weekend, it’s real purpose, and one we should NEVER forget, is to honor our nation’s presidents - past and present. The man who gave birth to this nation, one who kept it alive in time of crises and all those who bore the burden and honor of leadership.

“Washington's is the mightiest name of earth - long since mightiest in the cause of civil liberty; still mightiest in moral reformation. On that name no eulogy is expected. It cannot be. To add brightness to the sun, or glory to the name of Washington, is alike impossible. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name, and in its naked deathless splendor leave it shining on. - Abraham Lincoln

“Abraham Lincoln - the spirit incarnate of those who won victory in the Civil War - was the true representative of this people, not only for his own generation, but for all time, because he was a man among men. “ - Theodore Roosevelt

 “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” - John F. Kennedy
