Happy May 1st. Better yet, "Happy May Day." There, that's better.
May Day is celebrated all over the world but hardly noticed here in America.
In the USSR (Russia) and other like regimes during the Cold War, May Day was their Labor Day or Solidarity Day. Big parades in Red Square and elsewhere presented their troops and military equipment.
Back in 1958, President Eisenhower, in an attempt to balance the celebration and give America something to do on this day, declared May 1st as Law Day or Loyalty Day. We are a nation of laws, and if you're part of the legal profession, this is your day. Otherwise, this is a day to unite and celebrate the greatness of America.
In my podcast message today, "MAY DAY," I mark this observance and reminisce about the May Day we observed as kids in grade school with the Maypole Dance and the May Baskets we made and took home to our Mothers.
However you celebrate or observe May Day in America, Happy May Day!
