Today is Labor Day.
A day to thank the American workers who make our country run.
This was always the day I helped my dad put on the annual IBEW Labor Day picnic in Missoula. These men and women were hard workers and yes, they played hard too.
Without them, we are lost. I don't know how to properly drywall, wire a home or put up roofing or trusses.
I lean construction here, as my dad spent most of my life working as an electrician, so these are the people I grew up around. They don't dress up in nice clothes to work, their vehicles are often full of that stuff they need for work the next day and often come home very dirty and sweaty.
They're also the folks who were there to help when we needed them. I knew I could call on any of them and know they would be there for me.
They were worth their weight in gold.
Thank you to all you who labor.
