Happy Presidents Day, fellow patriots!

Today, we set aside our political allegiances to salute the 44 commanders in chief of our great nation. To commemorate America's highest office, we've compiled a "Thank you" note of sorts, listing a few of the many things we owe to our founding fathers:

1. Freedom of speech: Because of the U.S. Constitution, we are at liberty to speak frankly whenever we please.

2. Teaching us the value of virtue: Washington and Honest Abe never told a lie, and neither should you.

3. Bravery: Taking on this responsibility is no cakewalk, that's for sure.

4. For giving hardworking Americans a much-needed three-day weekend!
