Washington's Birthday

Washington's birthday is coming up. I don't call it "Presidents' Day" because I believe heroes are essential to a culture and country and the phrase "Presidents' Day" is empty of meaning. It does not inspire a boy to heroic act. It does not inspire a boy to truth telling, to leading starving men across the Delaware in mid winter in a time of war. It does not inspire leadership of a country. I just wonder when the anti-hero holiday makers will put in to change MLK day to "Civil Rights Leaders' Day...and Christmas will be next to fall: "Religious Founders' Day". As for me and my house we will use "Washington's Birthday".
