I am sure that there are many other people that feel the same way.Sure, Labor Day happens to be during the summer and some of your favorite activities; like sunbathing or going to the swimming pool are summer activities but these activities occur mostly in the summer anyway.Labor Day is a holiday that just happens to be during the summer that US workers can enjoy doing what ever makes them happy.I can definitely respect that.
