Birthday Remembrances for former Presidents Washington and Lincoln
|
 As we approach President's Day, holiday plans for 3-day weekends and participation in sales events emerge. However, President's Day is a celebration reflecting on the birth, service, and legacy of our first and sixteenth presidents.
George Washington
George Washington, the first president of the United States, was born on February 22, 1732. Washington established a long history of public service throughout his lifetime.
Military and Public Service of George Washington - Virginia Militia as a colonel and organized the First Virginia Regiment
- British Army during the French and Indian War
- Member of the Virginian House of Burgesses
- Elected delegate for the First and Second Continental Congress
- American general and then Commander in Chief of the colonial armies during the American Revolutionary War
- Chairman of the 1787 American Constitutional Convention
- First President of the United States
After becoming the only president to achieve a unanimous election by the Electoral College, Washington remained president for two-terms, then voluntarily chose to not hold office as president again; therefore, setting precedent for all other presidents to follow. Washington led by example and established precedent in many areas of presidential conduct that has since become regulated through Congressional acts.
George Washington died on December 14, 1799. However, he is still honored in numerous ways throughout the United States. Washington, D.C. is named after George Washington as well as the state of Washington, several ships, and hundreds of schools across the county. His picture can still be seen on the one-dollar bill and the quarter.
Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States, was born on February 12, 1809 near Hodgenville, Kentucky. Military and Public Service of Abraham Lincoln - Captain in the Black Hawk war
- Post Master
- Illinois State Legislature
- Sixteenth President of the United States
Abraham Lincoln demonstrated his ability to influence change during his service as a state legislator by successfully having the capital of Illinois moved to Springfield. Lincoln was elected for two-terms, but only served one due to assassination by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. As Lincoln's body traveled by train from Washington, D.C. to Illinois, mourners lined the train tracks to say goodbye. |

1969 - Santa Barbara Oil Spill
On the afternoon of January 29, 1969, a Union Oil Co. platform stationed six miles off the coast of Summerland experienced a serious blowout due to inadequate protective casings. While drilling at roughly 3500 feet below the ocean floor, riggers began to retrieve a drill bit for replacement. During the retrieval, the pressure maintaining mud level became very low, and the capping of the hole allowed pressure to build resulting in a natural gas blowout. The natural gas blowout left five breaks in the ocean floor releasing oil and/or gas into the ocean from each break.
After eleven and a half days, the leak was controlled by pumping chemical mud into the 3500-foot deep shaft topped with a cement plug. In an effort to remove the oil from the ocean, planes dumped detergents into the ocean, and skimmers physically removed oil laying on top of the ocean. For the beaches and harbors, straw was laid to soak up the oil and then raked up and disposed of to fully remove the oil from the shoreline. The 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill may have begun the environmental movement. It definitely influenced the first Earth Day a few months later. However, the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill painted a negative image of the oil industry in the minds of the public.
U.S. President Richard Nixon: "It is sad that it was necessary that Santa Barbara should be the example that had to bring it to the attention of the American people. What is involved is the use of our resources of the sea and of the land in a more effective way and with more concern for preserving the beauty and the natural resources that are so important to any kind of society that we want for the future. The Santa Barbara incident has frankly touched the conscience of the American people."
