Taft served as president from 1909 to 1913 so I am afraid it was Woodrow Wilson who made AHE a national holiday in 1918

Dutch ever the historical steward only knows half the truth. True Wilson was in office in 1918. But Taft a true man of the people heard about Wilsons plans for National Arrowhead Equipment Day (Wilson loved us too ) knew that he should have gotten the job done while in office. He single handily stormed the Oval Office, kicked Wilson in the berries and sighted the act himself, left handed, while fighting Wilson with his right. It was truly an epic battle but Taft prevailed and that's why we honor and thank him to this day. MERICA

If only my Google calendar had displayed the (at the time) upcoming holiday - I would have waited four more days before placing my new underquilt order. Bah, who am I kidding - I wouldn't have waited. Can't wait to try out the New River Long on my Thunderbird!
Who you gonna call when you need gear? Taft says you call Arrowhead-Equipment!

Aaaarrrggghhh! I was so busy on here for the last couple of days scheming to buy a used Jarbridge so that I could at least get free shipping that I missed National Arrowhead Equipment Day--where I would have essentially gotten free shipping! Taft could have called me! It's not like it's the Fourth of July! LOL!
Somebody told me how frightening it was how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared.
