Today we, the Worker Bees, celebrate not only our contribution to, but the very creation of, our democracy; envisioning and implementing the ideals, and very existence, of these United States of America.

It is we who maintain the freedom of all the residents in the U.S. to pursue the lifestyle to which each aspires, the dreams each envision for self, family and community.

We do this by our daily effort; we create and build. We are the line workers, the secretaries, the nurses, cashiers and foot soldiers the “support staff.” We are the writers, poets and artists. We weave the fabric of our society; through our daily efforts, WE make it all work.

Celebrate with me, this day, not merely our contribution to, but the very creation of these United States as she is and as she can be. Pay tribute to our fellows on this Labor Day; honor the creators of our nation’s strength, freedom and leadership in the world.

Celebrate the American Worker Bees!
