Remembering Our Nation’s Fallen Workers
Perhaps one of these tragic and largely preventable deaths has hit close to home for you—with a family member, friend, neighbor, or co-worker who went off to work and never came home. But even if you don’t know someone personally who has died on the job, you can be sure someone has who provided you, your family, and community with the goods and services you needed, wanted, or relied on this past year. You may not know them by name but each one was loved and deserves to be remembered. And their loss serves as a reminder of the day’s full slogan: “Remember the Dead: Fight for the Living.”
