Flag of the United States

Today, the flag of the United States flies in commemoration of Labor Day. Quoting the Department of Labor’s History of Labor Day web page, “Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.
