Labor Day

[TangoWhiskey]

It occurred to me that I didn't know the history behind Labor Day, when it first was observed, etc.

If, before you click this link, you want to take a guess on the year Labor Day was first celebrated, and the year it became a Federal holiday, go for it. The two events are separated by twelve years, that's your only hint.

I'm glad to know it's an Irishman that's behind all the drinking that will be done Monday.
