RMKS/1.  FOR OVER A CENTURY, WE HAVE CELEBRATED LABOR DAY IN HONOR
OF ALL WORKING MEN AND WOMEN.  SINCE 1882, WE HAVE PAID TRIBUTE TO
THE COUNTLESS CONTRIBUTIONS OUR FELLOW CITIZENS HAVE MADE TO THE
STRENGTH, PROSPERITY, AND WELL-BEING OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY.  WE STAND
TODAY, PRIVILEGED TO ENJOY THE FREEDOMS THAT PATRIOTS HAVE STRUGGLED
AND LABORED FOR ACROSS THE GENERATIONS.
2.  LET ME TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY, NOW, TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD
WORK AND DEDICATION THAT ON A DAILY BASIS HAS SUCH A GREAT IMPACT ON
OUR CORPS AND THE NATIONAL DEFENSE.  AS WE CELEBRATE LET US REMEMBER
OUR FELLOW WARRIORS, ESPECIALLY THOSE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS
THAT ARE IN HARMS WAY, CONTINUING TO FIGHT FOR OUR WAY OF LIFE IN
THE WAR ON TERRORISM.  REMAIN STEADFAST, BOUND TOGETHER BY OUR
SPECIAL CULTURE AND SELFLESS DEVOTION TO COUNTRY AND CORPS.  MOST
IMPORTANTLY, HOLD TRUE TO OUR CORE VALUES, HIGH STANDARDS, AND SENSE
OF RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.  TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES.
TAKE CARE OF OUR MARINES, SAILORS, AND THEIR FAMILIES.
