Presidents day

On this Presidents day let us not forget the first 10 men who led our country under the articles of confederation. I really like presidents day but I get so mad when people say that George Washington was the 1st President of the United States. So for a quick history lesson in the founding of our Republic I will list the 1st 10 Presidents of the United States.
