People are confusing Labor Day for Memorial Day with one Meme.

 
 
Several people on social media have shared a viral meme about showing respect to our fallen troops.  It's a lovely sentiment, but they have the wrong holiday.  Today is Labor Day, and is to celebrate the social and economic achievements of American workers.  The confusion has actually reached comical lengths.
 


 
The Facebook page responsible for this meme even had something to say to their re-posters.
 
... you dolts!
 


As laughable all this really is, it shows that a large group of Americans does not know what this holiday really reflects.  It is a yearly national day of tribute to the contributions American workers have made to the development and success of their nation.  So here's to all you fellow laborers!  You are all awesome, and this day is yours!
