Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend! It is a great holiday were we honor those that built and continue to build this great nation through their hard work and dedication. It is also a time to reflect on how laborers fought over the years to make things safe and right in their fields and professions. Labor has made a major influence on our country and where we are today.
