Some of the holidays celebrated in the United States of America are: • Washington's Birthday is the holiday set aside to honor our first President. • Flag Day, celebrated on June 14, is the day set aside to honor the flag of the United States. • Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday of September, honors all workers. • Columbus Day is the holiday that honors the discovery by Europeans of America. • Thanksgiving Day is the day set aside to give thanks for our blessings. What is Our National Anthem? A song that honors a country is called an anthem. "The Star-Spangled Banner" is our national anthem, or patriotic song.
