Happy Labor Day!

American Flag

Labor Day means many things to many different people.  For some of us, it’s a day off of work, a time to relax with family and friends.  The holiday might be celebrated as one of the last days to take a trip, have an outdoor picnic, or hold neighborhood barbeques and firework displays.  For others, Labor Day represents the end of the summer and the start of back-to-school.  And for a few hold-outs, it’s the last time to wear white shoes until next season! 

According to The United States Department of Labor, Labor Day is a holiday dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is an annual national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
