To all the people who labor and help make our country great, today is a tribute to you!

I love the way Labor Day gives everyone a day off from work. It’s a chance to sleep late or take advantage of a three day weekend to get away from it all.

Some of the jobs I’ve had would recognize Labor Day and be closed for the day, but not pay the workers for the day. That seems to be a missing link to the whole idea. If you are honoring the people who work hard, you should have to pay them, too.
