Lincoln's Birthday
 |
Today is Lincoln's Birthday.
Some states observe it as a public holiday.
Other states celebrate the birthdays of Lincoln and Washington on one of the two anniversaries ...
Or a separate observance called "President's Day" on the third Monday this month.
Abraham Lincoln was our 16th President and is remembered for that public office, his personal integrity when interacting with others, and the heinous murder which ended his life.
Regardless, I try to honor his memory as a person who typified that to which people should aspire as well as all he attained during his lifetime — and I have remembered him for that set of characteristics noted in the literature toward that end.
