Every grain, every blossom, every fruit is nourished not only by fair weather and fertile soil but also by the frail yet determined hands of those who labor tirelessly.

The nation is grateful for our farm workers, who feed millions by sacrificing their strength, dedicating their time, all in the name of service and sustenance.

A grateful nation stands united in honoring you not only for today but for generations to come.
