Much like Memorial Day and July 4th before it, this Labor Day holiday feels very different. There is not the same excitement about the start of football season, or the fun associated with back to school. Whatever BBQ gatherings do take place this weekend will likely be far fewer people. The activities we had hoped would return to normal by now have not. The wet blanket of COVID-19 continues to be a constant in our lives. But the reason for the holiday remains the same. This great country was built on the backs of laborers, hardworking laborers.
From
Wikipedia: Labor Day is a federal holiday in
the United States celebrated
on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor
movement and the works
and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements
of the United States.
It is the Monday of the long weekend
known as Labor Day Weekend.
A lot of hard work went into
the comforts that we will all likely enjoy this weekend. Enjoy your holiday!
