"We are but warriors for the working day."
Henry V, Act IV, Scene 3, Line 109.
This is probably the third time I have repeated this line in celebration of Labor Day. There are many similar, appropriate lines from Shakespeare, but nothing tops this one. Happy Labor Day, all you pro-labor liberals!

I recognize most of them......but not the lady at the top. Who is she?
Cesar Chavez is next, and then another person whose name I can't remember, and last is Woodie Guthrie.
What a great lineup! Thank you again.

The angry-looking guy with the eyebrows is John L. Lewis, a coal miner and labor leader from the early 20th Century.
