Remembering the Gipper

"On this Labor Day, I proudly join my fellow citizens in saluting our Nation's working men and women. As we celebrate the historic role of our nation's free labor movement, we are reminded that workers have contributed as much to America's social greatness as they have to our economic strength... Because of the quality of the goods and services they produce, we enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world... By shaping a better future for our workers, we can and will assure continued progress and even greater opportunity for all Americans."

Ronald Reagan
