Happy President's Day - What does it take to be one of the best of the best in the Oval Office?

Have you taken a moment today to just thank your COUNTRY for your FREEDOM today and for the people that dedicate their lives to keeping it free?

When holidays occur, I always like to take a step back and reflect on them. Today I am thankful to be free, be alive and salute our Presidents that make this country great.

Just a bit of trivia as well out of all the presidents amongst this 91 panel of people Barack Obama came in #12. Thats’ a pretty amazing statement in our lifetime to be a part of in U.S History. I'm not big into politics and president's but i DO APPRECIATE THE FREEDOMS WE RECEIVE and when I have this day off from work because it's a holiday I'd like to know the people that dedicated their lives to improving LIFE as a PLATFORM for me to enjoy.
