Do you know when Labor Day started? It started on September 5, 1882, in New York City. Workers paraded because they wanted fair working conditions. It was a peaceful demonstration, and Labor Day has continued to be celebrated in the United States. It became a national holiday in June of 1894 under President Grover Cleveland, and it is celebrated on the first Monday in September.<\/p>\n

Have a great Labor Day, and remember to share what you are doing with friends and relatives who could not celebrate with you, too! You don\u2019t even have to make a trip to the postoffice so why are you waiting?

And, now, you can send them in the REAL mail directly from your own celebration with your iPhone or other Smartphone!<\/p>\n
