Labor Day – Federal Holiday

-


A scenic, sunny view of a memorial area on the USMMA campus. In the foreground, a low stone monument with dark plaques rests on a paved slate walkway. The path leads toward a circular stone fountain featuring a central statue, surrounded by manicured hedges. Beside the fountain, a tall white flagpole proudly flies the American flag against a clear blue sky. Lush, mature trees frame the right side of the scene, casting shade over the grass, with glimpses of campus buildings visible in the background.

As the nation pauses to observe Labor Day, the United States Merchant Marine Academy honors the dedication, resilience, and vital contributions of the American workforce, particularly the commercial mariners who keep our global supply chains moving. For the Regiment of Midshipmen at Kings Point, this holiday offers a brief, well-deserved respite from their rigorous academic and physical training, while also serving as a moment to reflect on the essential maritime industry they are preparing to lead. Embodying the Academy's motto, Acta Non Verba, our future licensed officers and commissioned leaders recognize that the enduring strength and prosperity of our nation are built upon the tireless, everyday efforts of workers both ashore and at sea.
