Labor Day at sea

During the evening news on Labor Day, there is the obligatory segment where the local reporter talks to Americans who have the misfortune of working on Labor Day. One job that is rarely mentioned is the men and women of the Armed Forces. Over the last ten years, there hasn’t been as many summer vacations they can enjoy with the kids. Certainly not very many three-day weekends to enjoy with friends. Jihadists don’t typically take Labor Day off, so our troops can’t either.

Happy belated Labor Day to all the Marines, soldiers, sailors, airmen, and guardsmen out there.
