That's it. Pencils down, please. Presidents Day is observed the third Monday in February.
Also known as Washington's Birthday, it's been a federal holiday on this date since 1971. Feb. 12 is the correct answer to Question 2. You're forgiven if you got that one wrong. Unless, that is, you grew up in Illinois, as I did.
Heck, even the less studious kids -- those who didn't give a hoot about history -- knew that Lincoln was born Feb. 12. His birthday was -- and still is -- a state holiday (read: a day off from school in Illinois). This year marks the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth.
All across Illinois -- where the official state slogan is "Land of Lincoln" -- folks are holding a year-long party. Visitors are welcome to join in by tracing the footsteps of Illinois' favorite son. Yes, I know that Lincoln was born in a one-room log cabin in Kentucky and that he spent his youth in Indiana.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
