We usually have a few hurricane days. Not as fun, admittedly.

Like for it to be this: August, 6th 1945, the US drops the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

But it would probably be this:August 18, 1920, American women gain voting rights.

Only month without an official federal holiday.

But far from the only month without a holiday for the rest of us.

It's called Kid's Day. Sorry you never had Kid's Day growing up.

We can't have a holiday in August. Labor Day is the sign that the end of the worst month of the year has arrived.

If we put a holiday in August, it will taint Labor Day.

August is for suffering. It makes everything after better.

If you move to Europe, the whole month of August is a holiday.

September sucks as well, but we at least have football.

And generally the later half of September, we get a little taste of what's to come.

August has literally nothing.

You saying give government employees another day off on top of what they already have?
