    Thank you to the unknown man who prayed with me while my grandson was dying in the hospital and hugged me tight when he found out he died. Thank you to the construction worker who stopped working by the side of the road to take off his hat and pay his respects when our funeral procession passed by. Thank you to the doctors and nurses who cared for him while he was in the hospital and gave us so much compassion while we took him off life support. They will never know how much they touched my heart and how they were a little light in the sea of darkness. Heroes indeed.

    Thank you. My son is a janitor. He's legally blind, but he doesn't want to go on disability. He doesn't tell anyone, just does his job. He's respected, because he works hard, but being a janitor, isn't a glamorous job. He's my hero.

      I'm a long haul trucker. I see public restrooms all the time. No one says anything when they're clean - but bitch to the moon if they aren't. I try to thank every janitor I see for doing a thankless job; surprising to see how it lifts their face and spirit!
      Thank your son for me. He's a hero, too..

      Janitors are heroes to me. I definitely notice at my job when we don't have one or it's his day off. Public restrooms can get pretty disgusting, and I've cleaned quite a few myself in jobs where there wasn't a janitor. It's always so nice to be able to use the restroom without having to worry about brushing up against some mess on the door or the floor etc that should have been in the trash can or flushed down the toilet. Not to mention all the trash that has to be emptied every day, cleaning the breakroom, making sure there's not nasty old food in the fridge etc. Janitors make everyone's life so much more pleasant. God bless you and your son.

We depend on truckers for so many things that we literally can't survive without. You endure long hours and long stretches away from your families. And thank you for taking the time to appreciate janitors. They really do make things a lot better for the rest of us. And you're so right about how a little appreciation can brighten someone's day.

    My mother was a cop and is now a nurse. My father is a Marine vet, was a volunteer firefighter for 20+ years, and is now working in a factory. My stepfather is an Air Force vet now electrician. I am an Air Force vet now working in retail. So far, I am the only one who has heard this song and I just found it. Been a long time fan of you Tom and this hits me deep. A lot of people don’t know the sacrifices we make or even how our days are going. All 4 of us have gone through things that we don’t talk about and me personally, I feel forgotten about. I don’t go asking for a thanks or even ask for a discount. I’d rather have someone welcome me home or thank me for the sacrifices instead of my service. All I really want is to feel the recognition and this song made me feel that. I plan on showing this to my family soon and I hope it has the same impact on them as it did me. Thank you Tom.

      don't forget about the sort,you are the end route, but it takes all the grunts to get that last bit to the customer. I've done both sides, the driver gets all the credit and "thank you"s but there is an army of grunts behind it.

      Anyone that look down on others are the one beneath the others. Maybe they have more money then you, but the fact that they look down on you prove that they are lower in the brain department. No good peoples look down on others, because anyone with a good brain know that any jobs no matter how useless it may seem at first glance is important in some shape or form, if it was not, those job would not exist in the first place, since no one would want to spend money for job that is of not use."

    Also had a cop help escorted the EMTs to a different hospital.

Didn't anticipate the guy would make the block and jump out his car yelling what ya gonna do now. People have no idea the risk we have to take everyday to deliver say 200 plus stops.

We don't get headline news spots like million dollar athletes arguing over how many millions they get that year.

      I had some solar installed years ago and as part of "the package" had some insulation installed in my attic. When I saw those guys putting on the head to toe suits and going into the already quite hot attic, I knew that even the home improvement and prior tech/installer type of work I did in the past paled in comparison to being covered like they were. I offered them ice cold Gatorades and had the a/c cranked up for 'em. So many of our population work these "behind the scenes" "cog of the machine" types of jobs (of various sorts) and it's wild to think about just how many moving parts there are to keeping society functioning how it needs to. From HVAC, electricians, and plumbers, to the engineers keeping vital networks and processing systems running around the country (and world), the honest, hard working folks are heroes. I've been in the attic and crawlspaces and certainly thank you and that industry for making our lives much more comfortable, especially in the deep south of South Carolina!! lol

    Whenever I'm feeling down or just not feeling myself, I listen to this song. I've been driving a truck for almost 10 years now went from doing otr to local so I can help drive my mom who is a retired teacher, 260 miles south to the heart clinic when she needs a checkup. Every little bit of feel good knowing that there are people who treat us and think of us as human beings and not an enemy to society or just plain useless. Thank you Tom for giving us a spark to keep us going.

      I was a SAHM, too, although I didn't homeschool. My husband busted his buns so that our children didn't have to be raised by strangers. It was a blessing for us all and I'm so grateful he was willing to sacrifice so that I could have the best job in the world. Tom McDonald is a treasure and I'm grateful to him for giving people like my husband a voice they don't usually have.
