Today we celebrate Presidents Day. But the American story isn't a story of presidents. It's a story of the American people -- of you, your family, and your community.

It’s a story of courage, character, strength, and resilience in facing the toughest challenges and overcoming them together.

It was true when Lincoln saved the union. It was true when Franklin D. Roosevelt told us the only thing we had to fear was fear itself. It was true when John F. Kennedy stood in the winter air and summoned the country to serve. It was true when Lyndon B. Johnson watched the images from Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday and went to Congress to guarantee voting rights.

And it’s true today, as we work to build our nation back better. As we work together to combat a deadly virus, joblessness and hunger, racial injustice, hopelessness, and despair, I want you to know that we can get through this -- and I want you to know that better days are ahead. I know that because the American people have never let this country down given half the chance.

On this Presidents Day, I promise you, my whole soul is in our work to continue building our nation back better than before. We have our work cut out for us, but if we do it together, as one nation, we will not fail.

Now more than ever before, we must stand shoulder to shoulder to protect our progress and move America forward. Because I know that when we come together, we can accomplish anything.

Thank you for being on this team,

Joe

Joseph R. Biden Jr.
President of the United States
