[edit] labor day 2006
Labor Day in 2006 is on September 4th, but it's on a different date every year (first Monday in September). Do we ever include movable days in the date page? I guess not as it's not on September 4 at the moment, I'm just curious. Aaron McDaid (talk - contribs) 14:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
