Labor Day

This is Steven Petrick Posting.

Today is the first day of September, set aside by act of Congress as a day to celebrate the underpinnings of the American society, that is the worker. Be he an office manager, accountant, engineer, plumber, technician, mechanic, assembly line worker, cowpuncher, or any other of a plethora of occupations, it is his labors that allow our society to exist.

The soldier may safe guard the nation, but it is the workers who create the wealth and standard of living we enjoy in this nation, and tools with which the soldier defends it.
