I'm seeing that all kinds of people on Facebook are posting pics like, "It's not just about a 3-day weekend" and showing veterans or veterans' funerals.
I didn't write this on people's posts, because I didn't want it to look like I was disrespecting veterans, all the respect in the world to them, but...
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT LABOR DAY IS!!! It's an extra day off for workers (hence the name "Labor" Day), to show appreciation for their contribution to society. This time it's not about the veterans, it's about the everyday people that put the time in day in day out.
