st thomas: Happy President's Day - 02/16/14 11:47 AM
 

 
From Alaska to the U.S. Virgin Islands, today is President's Day. Regardless of your politics, the day is theirs. President's Day.  A day to honor those men who have been daring enough to believe they could make a difference in this great country. They make unbelievable sacrifices as do their families, in support of them.  All have their less than glorious moments during their terms, at some point. Together their legacies shape our future.
 
                                   Happy President's Day
