How can you show honor and respect on President’s day?

We can show honor and respect by remembering what they did and sharing it with our family. In other words taking a trip or making a dinner and expressing gratitude to these great people.

What I found interesting about this holiday is that it was made to give national workers more 3 day weekends. I find this nice because it gives them more time to spend with their families and they also get to learn about  the past. In other words this holiday is a great chance to get connected with history.
