Does the Military Get President’s Day Off?

President’s Day, also known as Washington’s Birthday, is a federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February in the United States. As Americans rejoice and indulge in time-off from work, it raises the question: Does the military get President’s Day off? Let’s explore this in detail.

Historical Context

Before delving into the military aspect, let’s quickly cover the origins of President’s Day. Originally, the federal holiday commemorated the birthdate of George Washington, the first President of the United States. In 1796, the First Congressional Library designated February 22 as Washington’s birthday.

Fast forward to the early 20th century, where Federal Observations Holidays Act of 1938 declared March 15 as Washington’s birthday holiday. This bill gave the president the option to transfer the holiday to any date between December 23 and January 19 of the following year to benefit commercial interests. On March 1, 1948, the federal holiday was moved to third Monday of February, in which we celebrate President’s Day today.
