The nation was not built with bullets, guts and glory, but rather on the backs of workers who had strength and imagination and a can-do spirit.
These Forever Stamps, courtesy of USPS, commemorate building a nation on the strength of labor. Some of these images are attributed to Lewis Wickes Hine (1874 to 1940) who is quoted as saying,
"There are two things I wanted to do. I wanted to show the things that had to be corrected. I wanted to show the things that had to be appreciated." www.photoquotes.com
