A LABOR DAY MESSAGE
\
Labor Day 1962 again reminds us of the indispensable part Labor plays in -
• • our Defense program as a partner of the Armed Forces. America's working
men and.women are providing supplies and weapons--many of unparalleled
complexity vital to the defense of our country and allies.
Challenges to our security still confronts us. The teamwork that has
met and overcome the challenges of the past must 'continue undiminished
. and with even greater efforts on the part of all of us to meet the chal
lenges of the days anead. We are confident that Labor as an essential
part of the team will continue to make its full contribution to our na
tional defense.
The Department of Defense welcomes the opportunity on this occasion to
salute the working men and women of this country.
