Labor Day

So remind me again why we have this last "3 day weekend" before the end of summer? How many even know what we are celebrating? Labor Day was created way back in 1887, and dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers - a tribute to the contributions made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. A well-deserved day off, so to speak. Or, as many celebrated today - a day to go out shopping and eating, and make others work who aren't as fortunate as those granted the day off. Which sadly was most of the workforce in retail and restaurants, those who protect and serve, those driving trucks... For all of those working on Labor Day, a fitting music tribute was made over 30 years ago now, and it applies just as much today!
