On Labor Day some of us labor while others just plain chill! We have fun, we celebrate, and we give thanks. We give thanks to –

• the early Labor Unions that set up guidelines to protect our safety
• the doctors and nurses that help the sick
• the firemen and police officers that protect our streets and homes
• our family members that work so hard
• our friends and others who just do their best to preserve our liberty
• those who labor to protect everyone’s opportunity to make their own choices
