I have recently read several articles, memes, etc., indicating Presidents' Day is for Washington's birthday. We used to have 2 national holidays in the short month of February; Lincoln's birthday on the 12th and Washington's on the 22nd. The consolidation was to combine the holiday, celebrating BOTH of their birthdays. Why had everyone forgotten about old Abe?
