Today being Labor Day I want to write about greatness of being an American and recognize our labor related laws and the opportunities we have here in the U.S. I believe we are blessed to live in a country that has structured laws to protect human beings who labor to create the quality of life we have and are exposed to. There are far more countries around the world who don't take care of their workers or give them opportunities to create quality living. Yes, we are dealing with a lot of challenges, high unemployment and financial concerns here in our country but we also have the freedom to pick and chose what we want to do even if we have to risk stability and comfort to do so. We have structured labor laws, unemployment insurance, worker's compensation and social security to name a few of the pieces put in place to protect us.
I want to acknowledge those workers who work very hard in manual labor to keep our system running smoothly and those in the service industry who are there to protect us and keep us out of harms way. I am proud to be an American and feel very blessed to be given the opportunity and freedom I exercise and am aware of.
