Today is Abraham Lincoln's 216th birthday although we don't really celebrate it. Ever since it got mushed together with Washington's birthday we have just celebrated Presidents' Day, which gives some school children and postal workers a day off, and, for some reason, inspires lots and lots of mattress sales. But some of us still remember "Honest Abe." Some more accurately than others.
Here's what Congressman Danial J. Flood (1906 -1994) had to say about him.
"It is fitting that we pay tribute to Abraham Lincoln, who was born in a log cabin that he built with his own hands."
