Good Morning and Happy Labor day to alll.Ever wonder how Labor Day came to be?
Labor Day was originally established to celebrate the achievements of American workers and to recognize their contributions to the prosperity, strength, and well-being of the country.
The first Labor Day was celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City, organized by the Central Labor Union.
The idea spread, and by 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, leading to its recognition as a national holiday by President Grover Cleveland.
Today Labor Day is a recognition of American workers and also as the end of summer.
Happy Labor day everyone!
There's three gods in Texas: the Almighty Himself, Buster Welch, and George Strait.
I don't live in the United States, I live in Texas,,,“I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion. And this is true to the extent that people either passionately love Texas or passionately hate it and, as in other religions, few people dare to inspect it for fear of losing their bearings in mystery or paradox. But I think there will be little quarrel with my feeling that Texas is one thing. For all its enormous range of space, climate, and physical appearance, and for all the internal squabbles, contentions, and strivings, Texas has a tight cohesiveness perhaps stronger than any other section of America. Rich, poor, Panhandle, Gulf, city, country, Texas is the obsession, the proper study and the passionate possession of all Texans.” -John Steinbeck, 1962
What is it to be a Texan?It is not a birthright. It is a state of mind! It is freedom, passion, love for others and love for the land. You can fulfill your dreams if you work hard. It is Dr. Pepper, cowboy hats, pride, humility and unconditional love. It is respecting nature and embracing it. It is being a steward as well as a servant. Most of all it is a bond and a brotherhood based on mutual respect and love for each other! It is accepting and embracing differences and sharing mutual interests. It is being proud of our heritage and our history. It is being friendly and happy for our fellow Texans and fighting to protect our way of life!
