Happy Lincoln Day! In celebration of Lincoln's 216th birthday, Founding Forward held their annual Lincoln Day celebration to honor Lincoln's legacy and connection to the Union League of Philadelphia. The Union League was established to save the Union and support President Lincoln during the Civil War. It is fitting that Lincoln Day is one of the longest-standing traditions in the League—the formal celebrations date to the 19th century, with the program now presented by Founding Forward. #Lincoln #16thPresident #FoundingForward

As a child, I remember Reagan being kind - and generous with jelly beans. Today, there's much in his example that merits emulation by leaders of all political persuasions.
