In the past, I've put a statue of John Mitchell, from Courthouse Square in Scranton, on the blog. Today, something a little different.
I was trying to think of other monuments to American workers here in our area. I guess there are no other formal monuments, but some structures come to mind-- the Huber Breaker in Ashley, the old Scranton Lace factory, the massive General Dynamics factory in Scranton... It's a long list. Some are still active. Many aren't.
I'm not going into that "America doesn't make anything anymore" rant. You've already seen it here and elsewhere.
This is a holiday for everybody who drags their butts out of bed every day to put food on the table, and it's also a day for all those looking for work. There are too many of those these days.
Enjoy it.
