US Presidents The ancient Greeks loved heroes. The word "hero" comes from the Greeks. In the United States, we honor several of our heroes in February. One day in February was originally put aside to honor two of our presidents with birthdays in February - George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. This holiday has grown to include all our presidents. We call this day Presidents' Day. For Teachers & Students FREE 30 page teacher's guide plus poster - for teachers with school address only - order online!
