February is the month assigned to celebrate the history of a people that are the backbone of the United States of America. Much of the hard labor necessary to transform this land from a wilderness to the preeminent power of the world was and is performed by these people of different shades, origins, and beliefs. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Let us use this time to reflect on the great sacrifice of a people that have never been able to reap the full benefits of their hard labor.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
