Labor Day

This is a day to recognize America's workforce. The backbone of our nation, our greatest resource. A lifetime of working, to make your life and country a better place. Can be seen in each of you, by the weariness on your face. Please know,your hard work is what America is all about. Your sacrifice has made it great,in that have no doubt. To those who actively work to those who have retired. The legacy that you leave will lead others to be inspired. So accept a heartfelt thank you, for all that you have given. That others may see, that desiring better, you are driven. Whatever your job is, take pride in what you do. Because on this Labor Day, America is proud of you.

Awesome, Sandra. It is my birth DAY (except this year my birthday is on Tuesday) I love when it falls on Monday. My mom was laboring a long time that day 63 years ago!
