Let us explain.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><em>A tragic tale<br />Back in the days of the Industrial Revolution, workers were expected to put in 12-hour days, seven days a week (yes, including kids). Already sounds awful, right? It gets worse. In Pullman, Illinois, a company town that employed and housed workers to build posh railway cars, times had gotten tough. In response, George Pullman cut jobs and wages. It was 1893. Thousands of workers walked off their jobs in protest, demanding higher salaries and lower rents. Other unions joined, refusing to work the Pullman cars, turning the small-town fracas into a national fury. With mail cars backing up, and riots worrying train execs, President Grover Cleveland stepped in. He declared the strike illegal and sent 12,000 troops to break the strike. Cue brutal protests and bloodshed. The strike was broken, but so was the spirit of the workers. To reach out to the labor movement, Congress rushed the national holiday into law. The bad will resulted in Cleveland losing re-election. But the day off for hot dogs endures.<br /><br />When is it?<br />Labor Day falls on the first Monday of September. This year 2009, that would be Monday, September 7. According to the Department of Labor, Congress passed an act in 1894 making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday.<br /><br />So, working stiffs everywhere, say it now, with feeling: Happy Labor Day. </em></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><em>(source: Article "The Sad Story Behind Labor Day" by Caludine

Noriega on drug charges. The government estimates that 472 to 500 Panamanians were killed, but human rights organizations say more than 1,000 died. About 25,000 U.S. troops participated in the invasion, 23 of whom were killed.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 64);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;" >Louisiana Purchase Day - United States of America (see image above)<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;

America, unprepared and now considerably weakened, was abruptly brought into the Second World War as a full combatant.</span> <p style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Eighteen months earlier, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had transferred the United States Fleet to Pearl Harbor as a presumed deterrent to Japanese agression. The Japanese military, deeply engaged in the seemingly endless war it had started against China in mid-1937, badly needed oil and other raw materials. Commercial access to these was gradually curtailed as the conquests continued. In July 1941</span><span style="font-size:78%;"> the Western powers effectively halted trade with Japan. From then on, as the desperate Japanese schemed to seize the oil and mineral-rich East Indies and Southeast Asia, a Pacific war was virtually inevitable.</span></p> <p style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:78%;">By late November 1941, with peace negotiations clearly approaching an end, informed U.S. officials (and they were well-informed, they believed, through an ability to read Japan's diplomatic codes) fully expected a Japanese attack into the Indies, Malaya and probably the Philippines. Completely unanticipated was the prospect that Japan would attack east, as well.</span></p> <p style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:78%;">The U.S. Fleet's Pearl Harbor base was reachable by an aircraft carrier force, and the Japanese Navy secretly sent one across the Pacific with greater aerial striking power than had ever been seen on the World's oceans. Its planes hit just before 8AM on 7 December. Within a short time five of eight battleships at Pearl Harbor were sunk or sinking, with the rest damaged. Several other ships and most Hawaii-based combat planes were also knocked out and over 2400 Americans were dead. Soon after, Japanese planes eliminated much of the American air force in the Philippines, and a Japanese Army was ashore in Malaya.</span></p> <p style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:78%;">These great Japanese successes, achieved without prior diplomatic formalities, shocked and enraged the previously divided American people into a level of purposeful unity hardly seen before or since. For the next five months, until the <a href="http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/coralsea/coralsea.htm">Battle of the Coral Sea</a> in early May, Japan's far-reaching offensives proceeded untroubled by fruitful opposition. American and Allied morale suffered accordingly. Under normal political circumstances, an accomodation might have been considered.</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CVIA3ybuYho/STxJNkEK9BI/AAAAAAAAAWM/oE7nvgN9CcU/s1600-h/z_pearl.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 138px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CVIA3ybuYho/STxJNkEK9BI/AAAAAAAAAWM/oE7nvgN9CcU/s320/z_pearl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277173360739677202" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:78%;">However, the memory of the "sneak attack" on Pearl Harbor fueled a determination to fight on.
