Labor Day

On this day -- this American holiday -- we are celebrating the rights of free laboring men and women.  The preservation of these rights is vitally important now, not only to us who enjoy them -- but to the whole future of Christian civilization.

-- Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882 - 1945), American statesman and political leader who served as the President of the United States from 1933 to 1945, speech on Labor Day, 1 September 1941
