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.
Sorry for your loss but I'm sure your grandson is in a better place rest assure I may not know you or your family but just because we are strangers doesn't mean we don't all go through the same struggles may god bless you and your family and live in your Grandsons honor may god let you see them again when our time on earth is done.
Marine Corps Veteran and Truck Driver. We were worthless, then priceless, and now worthless again. Heros only when needed, hated when not. Song hits hard.
True America Patriots will always appreciate you all for the sacrifices you made. You all are loved and prayed for. Thank you for our freedom. We all owe you all so much. God bless 🇺🇲🥺
I'm sorry y'all are made to feel that way. It's so, so wrong. I know there are Americans like me out there that would never disparage our veterans. You are all heroes. even when you're old, bent over and can't remember the dogs name you are a hero. You were willing to fight for our freedoms and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Everyday, everyday, thank you. God bless you and your family.
Tom & Nova, I'm nearly 64 yrs. old and you songs brings tears of Hope and Joy and Traditional Pride! Keep up the fine work! No music has ever affected me like these words and rhythms!
Extremely timely. Here in Texas, we're seeing this first hand. The linemen and clean up crews working long hours, in Texas heat, to get the power back on line. They've left their families behind to help other families in need right now. ❤❤❤
I am a nurse married to a Dessert Storm Marine VET. We need more people like you Tom. We both apreciate the thank you. You need the thanks for recognising that we are all needed to make life comfortable and great. THANKS to all my fellow Americans for all that you do!
Thank you, ma'am, for your service and your husband's service.A marine here dealing with the same stuff.Let him know that if he ever needs anything , i've got a six
40+ years in foodservice and retail. Every smile is genuine, thank you's are sincere. I hope I make your day just a little bit better. Trying to be a better human one personal interaction at a time.
@@ezkhaos5116 Actually correct but slightly incorrect. Jesus was a Stone Mason by trade but by the carpentry he learned from Joseph growing up he did do some carpentry as well.
Giving a 3 minute and 34 second moment of appreciation to the people that make our communities function, safe, and moving forward. Thank you Tom MacDonald!
Thank you Tom your voice reaches out to us all ❤ I watched my dad support my sister and I work full time 8 to 5 mon - fri to put us through school, he barely had time to do things or spend time with us and my mom but he was a hard working man... he is my hero and finally retired last year. Any person who supports their family working long hours, even those who dont have a family, those working long hours struggling right now to live, you all are HEROS in my eyes. All the ones who build our roads, fix our power lines, work in nursing homes, etc all of you are heros! ❤
This song made me weep. There is no longer pride and glory for the hard working blue collar backbone of this country. There is a young family next door to me, the father is a fabricator and part time mechanic. He works his ass off so his wife can stay home and raise their 3 boys. It gives me so much pride to see young people commit to good values and strong families, because we, families are under attack at ever turn. God bless every hard working red blooded American that reads this. My wife and I with our 6 boys pray for you every morning.
People take trucking for granted. You guys are literally the blood the courses through the veins of this country. Without you guys, we'd have empty shelves, unsupplied restaurants, useless online stores, etc. Never forget that! My ex GF does OTR and I can't thank her enough.
Fellow trucker here. I was on and off since 1994, in between having and raising 8 children. When my husband passed in 2013. I had to solo it the best I could. Thank you for your time and the miles brother. I'm still out here turning the wheels and paying the bills.
Thank you for seeing us. I’ve been a farmer most my life and a fire fighter for 14 years. I didn’t think I’d tear up today. Just thank you for your work and the support you give to us.
Contractor here. This song made me cry! Nothing makes me cry!! I’m a hero to my wife and kids, but to my clients I’m just a guy they think charges them to much to do a job. they have no idea what it takes or that I work 17 hours a day to get it done and barely pay my bills. Thank you tom! You were here once and look what you made yourself. You are a hero to me.
Forklift operator at the fourth largest lumber yard in the country. I'm supplying the material to build houses, apartments, and other buildings. I get to see the fruits of my labor all over and it makes me proud. Thanks for the recognition Tom. Keep up the good work and God bless.
THANK YOU, TOM!!! YOU ARE MY HERO!! You really are! My father was/is my hero too... held many roles, including SWAT, undercover narcotics, homicide detective, hostage negotiator, Chief of Police, and even did work for 2 U.S. Presidents. A TRUE unsung hero! One grandfather was also a police officer, one grandfather was in the army WWII. My direct great grandfathers (to the Nth generation) include 3 major founding fathers (John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and William Floyd). They are ALL my heroes... But YOU ARE MY HERO FOR ALL YOU DO AND SAY AND HAVE BEEN DOING! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your video and song brought me to tears. ♥🤍💙
Love the shout to the welders... welder here, father of 3 girls and my wife is a stay at home mom. The struggle is real, the hours can be long... thanks for the shout out!😊
I'm a retired nurse and both of my grandson s are firefighters, EMTs and ones also a paramedic. When he's not at the fire house he's on an ambulance This song brought tears to my eyes. Everyday, working people are truly this country's heros. Thank you Tom McDonald for this song.
I have chills. I am a retired nurse and dad is retired Navy veteran. Thank you for recognizing all those important people. We all have to work together to make a safer world. God Bless you.
❤❤❤ THANK YOU all my hard working brothers and sisters doing thankless jobs for little pay and helping to hold the world together! A smile or a "thank you" or even a bit of patience costs us nothing to give, let's give them to each other freely. And THANK YOU Tom, Nova and all the Gang for reminding the world of what and who is important! May God continue to truly bless you all!!! Love you!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you to my pastor who went home to Heaven a couple of days ago... he took me into the praise band when i was 13 and helped me blossom musically for 6 years... He was a wonderful man who loved his church and his family and friends... say hi to the Lord for me, Pastor Rod, im going to miss you. I hope youre smiling down on us from above! And i hope to find a church that i can sing loud and praise God in, make both you and Him proud ❤
Thanks for doing what you do, Pastor. I am a PK myself and have experienced the sacrifices made to bring the Lord to the world. It can be absolutely brutal but its just as beautiful. God Bless You and Yours.
Thank you Tom MacDonald! As a guy that drives a lumber truck for a living, this means the world. It reminds me of the country band Alabama “40 Hour Week” God Bless
Worked for a supermarket out here on the east coast for 28 years now and just about to start a second full time job with the railroad. Thank you Tom for all you do to help and bring light to those of us that are not considered heroes.
Been a hard working blue collared worker since 1998 my body is shot but get up every morning put in my 10 to 12 hours. Also I'm a volunteer firefighter/EMS and spend countless hours training and responding all hours of the night and go to work with no sleep. Thank you for recognition we all appreciate it.
Bro, this hits so damn hard. I shed tears thinking of my old man listening to this. He was a mechanic that fought cancer for years before passing. but never stopped being a source of strength and wisdom for my mom, little brother and I. Here's to the real heros, everyday people. Thank you Tom.
I have a cousin whom is a firefighter, a few cousins that are cops, and several family members that are either veterans or active duty. My father is one of the families veteran. Thank you for not only supporting our troops but also those who don't get the recognition they deserve. We love you Tom. ❤
Tom, and team... Thank you. For recognizing all the moving parts that make America and the world work. Heavy duty diesel mechanic, and trucker here... Thank you, this means so much.
I spent 3 years delivering medication to hospice patients and nursing home patients. I showed up to people’s homes with a smile and a kind voice, because that is all I could offer. I had multiple families thank me for my actions. I was told in those dark days seeing someone like me arrive with a smile and a story or two showed respect and kindness. I changed jobs and still remember those folks.
I am a janitor. People often mock us for not being more. Sometimes it makes me sad that i'm considered a low citizen. But then i remember Lord Jesus Christ was born in a dirty place with animals, he was a mere carpenter, walked the earth as a poor and humble man. I wouldn't want it to be any different for myself. Thanks for your song man, it means a lot ♥
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."
I served 25 years in the Army, served in numerous war zones, and current Police officer. I want to truly thank you Tom for your gratitude, not for myself but for my comrades that never came home from foreign shores and the men and women who pin on the badge to help this country be a better place. To all the people that run to the danger and make this country great again, I salute you ! 🇺🇲
I’m a US Army Vietnam vet and a retired 25 year police detective. I was injured on the job and now I’m 100% disabled. Live alone. I must use a walker. I can’t drive. But I’m NOT BITCHING. It is what it is and I’m proud to have just served. Thank you so very very much Tom. God bless you. 🙏🏻
I wanted to say thank you for this song, Mr. Macdonald. I was in a near fatal car accident back in 2015 & a firefighter EMT saved me & pulled me the sunroof. Then handed me off to the medical EMTs & I was in a coma for a month. Doctors, nurses & certified nurse assistants care for me & kept me alive. Also had a cop help escorted the EMTs to a different hospital. I will always support the first responders, I am still alive & safe because of them. Thank you, to the first responders out there & to the fire fighter who got to me just in time.
Proud to say, this song and video brought tears to my eyes.58 year old vet, I remember when this was the country we lived in. When our country and especially our politicians and even the media felt this way about our country. I pray that this video goes viral and changes the lives of those that watch it. Thank you.
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.
@@TexJester-no8th Thank you for all you do! The pandemic made a lot of us realize how we've been taking you all for granted. 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.
@@TexJester-no8th my Son works at a middle school, way dirtier than a public bathroom😊😊 he works for the Government, so he has perks, health insurance. I always want to thank Truckers, they have saved my life, been kind when I needed it, and made me feel safe on the roads. Much respect, for you.
Trucker here and son of a farmer and teacher. Thankyou Tom. We feel underappreciated everyday. I've listened to all your songs, and this is my favorite one so far. You're our voice.
Trucker here, so many of us out on the road, acting as America's economic backbone, don't feel the appreciation, and for you to even mention us, brings back some hope. We spend so much time away from our families so that every American can do their jobs, and have the things that they want. Thank you very much Tom
Thank you for the shout out! I work on an ambulance. And on behalf of all of us YOU ARE WELCOME 💖And thank you to everyone out there that puts one foot in front of the other every day and keeps it pushin 💖
Thank you to the combat soldier who went into war before me. Thank you to the cop who stopped robber from robbing me one night 20 years ago at 3am in Kansas. Thank you to the sanitation worker who comes every Wednesday and gives me a brand new start to my week. Thank you to all the neighbors and people that take a stand against tyranny.
Thank you! My husband was a Vet and died in 2018. I'm in Healthcare. I love this song just as much as your others. I'm proud to be a part of the HOG family!
It's songs like this that puts Tom on top every single time he drops. It's people, like the commenters here, that are keeping America Great and will get us through these rough times.
Thank you Tom for this! I'm a dispatcher for a trucking company and my boyfriend is a veteran now a mechanic. After the week, we've had this really put a smile on my face.
It's sad that these people hardly get represented or shown because they're not seen as cool or important, when in reality they're some of the coolest people on the planet.
Also wanted to say Thank you with all my heart to the NICU doctors and nurses who kept my son alive when he was in the unit. He just turned 26 and I thank you all for every day I have him in my life!
Tom MacDonald and Nova have no idea of how much they are appreciated for the music they bring out to the people around the world. So thank you Tom & Nova for all that you both do and the sacrifices you make to get your music out to the public. And thank you to Mr. & Mrs. MacDonald for raising an amazing and talented son. Tom and Nova have shown us that it's possible to turn your life around which exactly what Tom MacDonald has done wth his life with Nova's help. To me you're both heroes ❤️ 💙 God bless you both and your family ! Amen 🇨🇦 🙏 America 🇺🇸
As a welder/fabricator building dump trucks, snow plows, and flat beds I appreciate the recognition for the people the get up everyday to go to a job they hate to support their families and keep the world moving.
Thank you Tom MacDonald for your music that puts things in to perspective. I am a delivery driver. Had to work through the pandemic when everything was shut down. We rolled on getting done. Everyday praying I didn't take the virus home to my family. On another side. I've had a gun pointed at me because a guy cut me off. I was able to go through a parking lot to get away from him. 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. I get it done with most days not getting a simple Thank You. Just alot of I got more furniture coming to my apartment on the fourth floor. All for purple promise.
HVAC Installer here. Working long hours under houses and out in this 100 degree heat daily getting people cooling. It's rewarding. A smile on a face and a handshake keeps me going. I love this. But you never hear tradesmen talked about as heroes or really glamorized. We're just the grunts that make the world work. We don't get headline news spots like million dollar athletes arguing over how many millions they get that year. Thank Tom. It's a good song. Telling the daily people working hard that they're a hero helps. Sometimes we feel like dirt.
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
This one hits home, my hubby retires in a couple weeks after 30 years as a carpenter, his body is wrecked, arthritis, back surgery, knee injections...the list goes on. He busted his ass for his family, he is our hero. Thank you for this tribute, they all deserve their flowers.
I’m a wounded veteran and my wife is active duty. Thank you for recognizing all the heroes out there who get little to no respect 🫡 Thank you for recognizing all our heroes at home who make our lives worth living. I think we all have those people in our lives. God Bless you all.
Right On 👍 The real heroes, the silent heroes that makes the world go around rewarding to be humble. but ya know Feels good an Loving to be thanked. We The People ❤❤ Loving, kindness, respect for one another for ALL of Mankind We all made and born the same No one different, All Beautiful and Loved! You touched my feelers on this one friend 😊 thank you for your love and Artistic skills for this Awareness plus your time, your own money sharing your Art. everything you do is from the heart. nice to have you as a self Artist out there. THANK YOU AS WELL TOM MACDONALD ❤❤❤ GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS TOM MACDONALD ❤❤❤ GOD BLESS MANKIND ❤❤❤
A BIG THANK YOU to Tom and Nova! From a truck driver in the agriculture business. Thank you both for being the voice of real men and women that make the world go round.
Absolutely phenomenal, moving song. Everyone should remember the important work being done by so many extraordinary people… in order for our safety, security, well being and daily comfort. Thank You -to all of You! And thanks Tom, for the Great song!
Thank you, Tom. Janitor here, man, that line hit hard. I'm going to school to be an electrician while maintaining my family. My wife's an LVN. We both appreciate your song and music.
@@aquamansanchez8784 I believe it's called custodial arts. seriously jokes aside, thank you for your hard work. As someone who volunteered to clean the washrooms at a few different jobs due to thinking other employees wouldn't really get in and make it clean, I appreciate what you do daily, it's not always glorious yet always necessary.
I'm a fourth generation teacher. You can instantly tell a school with a good custodian from a school without one. I do my best to always let them know they are appreciated.
My mom used to drive the school bus for the handicapped and special education students in the county school. I used to ride her bus to school if I wanted to sleep late, because the high school I attended was right across from the Middle School where the handicapped and special education students had their own school, a separate building from the Middle School, but on the same campus. She’d drop her students off at their school on the Middle School campus, and then take me across the road and let me off at the High School. I remember being picked on by some of my school mates hanging around outside the High School before the bell rang to head to your home room class. They were just joking around, of course, not trying to be mean, but still saying something about me riding the “short bus”. That was almost 40 years ago, and I still remember those children on mom’s bus, and how sweet and loving they were. One girl was in a wheelchair, and couldn’t speak, but she could understand everything you said to her. Her parents dressed her so pretty every day, and she would just grin from ear to ear when you told her how pretty she was. She had been left handicapped because of a school bus accident when she was younger, I believe. I remember one girl who was so funny because she called everyone “fart head”, and she would laugh so hard. That was my mom’s favorite bus route. She later took a bus route driving for the students in the Elementary, Middle, and High Schools, because I think the special needs school on the Middle School campus was torn down, and and those students were relocated. It was a long time ago, and my memory isn’t as sharp as it once was. But I am thankful that I got to spend some time with those students, because they made a lasting impression on me, and I have a special affection towards people like them, because they are precious. It’s why I believe that all human life has tremendous value, and it should not matter if a babe in the womb has what this world calls a “defect” when it comes to them being “worthy” of life. All human life is important to God, made in His image, and that alone makes every human life “worthy” of being born. It’s not for us to decide which human life has value, and which doesn’t, and to even think that we should have that power to decide the value of another human life, or when it should end, is man trying to usurp God’s authority, and it’s wrong.
Boggles my mind that people hate this man. He's over here inspiring us to be better humans, and showing gratefulness in every area of life. Much respect Tom!
I love this song my husband works for a supermarket delivering peoples groceries and I work as a cashier and cleaner for minimum wage and its a thankless job. I will forever be grateful to the paramedics nurses and drs who have save my life on multiple occasions when i had a serious asthma attack and both of my daughters lives a few times each too when they had serious asthma attacks. They will all always be heroes to me.
Thank you, Tom! Truckers wife here. Every day my husband spends away from his family is very difficult for us all. Seeing him get recognition for the long hours, all the danger he faces from bad drivers to protesters, days to weeks away from his family makes me feel so happy that he is seen! Thank you for this! And to everyone else, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO! WE KNOW WHO REALLY KEEPS THIS COUNTRY RUNNING!❤️🙌🏻
I'm not a trucker but I drive commercially. It's crazy to see how many people do dumb things to truck drivers. It's almost like they don't understand that if the guy behind the semi isn't paying 100% attention and you merge your car 3ft in front of them, you're dead. Not the trucker, you! xD Like people drive around semis like maniacs with zero concern and it's just crazy to me.
@NM-qd3tm My husband is a trucker, and he says the same thing. It makes him so frustrated when people cut him off as if he can stop his semi truck on a dime 🤦♀️.
As an EMT since I was 18 (I won’t say how long it’s been lol but it’s been a long time) and it’s been the best career in the world. I absolutely LOVE it. We see a lot we wish we could forget but nothing beats being there for someone who needs someone to help. There is no better feeling than that. Thank you for including us in this song along with all of public safety, who often only get talked about when something goes wrong. But that is a very small percentage of what actually happens. Like every profession listed in this song, we don’t get to work in the best, cleanest, easiest conditions but when it’s what you’re meant to do and what you’re good at, it’s in your blood and you take pride in it. To ALL of the people with names no one remembers are always the heroes that we all count on to show up….Thank you to you ALL! God bless 💗🙏🏼🇺🇸
From a family of nurses, paramedics, and fire fighters we appreciate the support. We don’t choose these paths for the praise, but a thank you is always appreciated. And in return I would like to say on behalf of my family thank you Tom. We appreciate you. ❤
I’m a courier and I deliver all of your Amazon and Wal mart stuff all day every day, but what I also deliver is medication for cancer patients, most of the medication is dependent on me making that delivery, I have a story of one customer that I delivered his medication on a monthly basis and him and his wife would be so grateful when they saw my truck coming up the driveway…until recently I was told to not bother because his condition got worse and they were in the process of getting him ready for his last days, his wife was so grateful she gave myself and other drivers that delivered for them homemade jam as a thank you, this song makes me think of how I helped him and also my other customers with their medication especially now one of my regulars for medication is own father whom is my hero because he is a truck driver delivering milk for 46 years, thank you Tom for giving love to the people that keep this world running.
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.
I don't think people truly understand how much you all do. My fiance is also a welder and has custom stuff all over the Chicagoland area, used to do tradeshow exhibits that were remarkable only to become landfill memories. The company he's with signed NDAs when they were building the bud light packman commercial that aired only a handful of times but was specifically for the superbowel some years back. If no one thanks you today, thank you from me to you HOG! ❤
@ItsLaurenE tell your fiance he's a member of a dying breed of people. We need more people to come into these trades. Nobody seems to want to do these jobs anymore. And thank you for supporting him and the rest of us.
@@dirtyjersey6774 absolutely, I'm always blown away with what he does. Coming home with semi new work tees already got welder holes. Washing his laundry separately even though I say it's ok to do it together, he says it's too gross. Dealing with welders tan being his only tan. Shop is hot as hell or cold depending on the seasons. If it gives you some hope, a few of my daughter's friends were taking college welding classes during their senior year, and even sending her pics to ask for his advice. There's still hope and young people who can step in when others can retire.

Freedom ain't FREE
Even though the LIBTARD commies
think it is
😇🇺🇲👍 HoG 4Life.
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.
Wow - thank you for sharing your thoughts. Those could easily be part of the song 🙏
I'm sorry for your loss. And I'm glad you had those heroes around you when you needed them most.
❤❤❤❤
Sorry for your loss but I'm sure your grandson is in a better place rest assure I may not know you or your family but just because we are strangers doesn't mean we don't all go through the same struggles may god bless you and your family and live in your Grandsons honor may god let you see them again when our time on earth is done.
❤❤❤❤
Marine Corps Veteran and Truck Driver. We were worthless, then priceless, and now worthless again. Heros only when needed, hated when not. Song hits hard.
Us blue collar folks think you’re a hero and I stand my ass up tall for the national anthem because of heros like you. Thank you brother.
True America Patriots will always appreciate you all for the sacrifices you made. You all are loved and prayed for. Thank you for our freedom. We all owe you all so much. God bless 🇺🇲🥺
I'm sorry y'all are made to feel that way. It's so, so wrong. I know there are Americans like me out there that would never disparage our veterans. You are all heroes. even when you're old, bent over and can't remember the dogs name you are a hero. You were willing to fight for our freedoms and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Everyday, everyday, thank you. God bless you and your family.
You will always be priceless! Thank you for stepping up to protect us!❤️
You're still a hero, bro! Never forget that!
Tom & Nova, I'm nearly 64 yrs. old and you songs brings tears of Hope and Joy and Traditional Pride! Keep up the fine work! No music has ever affected me like these words and rhythms!
Great comment. I feel the same way.
I didn't cry, I just got something in my eyes.
What’s traditional pride lol 😝
Agree!!!
@@MrQueezyAliTV If you have to ask, you would not understand the answer.
I cried when I heard this. Because you are the only 1 who recognize us janitorial people.... thank you..
I cried too, but for a different reason. Thank you for all you do!! 💜
You’re not a janitor you’re a sanitation and maintenance worker making sure our facilities are clean and working you’re a hero ❤️
Extremely timely. Here in Texas, we're seeing this first hand. The linemen and clean up crews working long hours, in Texas heat, to get the power back on line. They've left their families behind to help other families in need right now. ❤❤❤
I am a nurse married to a Dessert Storm Marine VET. We need more people like you Tom. We both apreciate the thank you. You need the thanks for recognising that we are all needed to make life comfortable and great. THANKS to all my fellow Americans for all that you do!
From an average everyday person... Thank you to you and your husband😊
Thank you for your service ❤
Thank you, ma'am, for your service and your husband's service.A marine here dealing with the same stuff.Let him know that if he ever needs anything , i've got a six
You know Tom never served right ?
@@jennid8123 We certainly do

Thank you for this Tom!
You are the people’s voice! ❤️🔥
I'm a tow truck driver. This song brings recognition to those who are overlooked except when we are needed. High five to all my fellow heros
40+ years in foodservice and retail.
Every smile is genuine, thank you's are sincere.
I hope I make your day just a little bit better.
Trying to be a better human one personal interaction at a time.
Jesus was a carpenter and so am I...Thats always been good enough for me....Thanks Tom....awesome song!
@@ezkhaos5116 Actually correct but slightly incorrect. Jesus was a Stone Mason by trade but by the carpentry he learned from Joseph growing up he did do some carpentry as well.
@@ezkhaos5116Where's the biblical source that he was a stone mason? I never heard that before.
Tom was a carpenter for the northern oil rigs.
❤❤❤
AMEN!
Work in a steel mill in Pittsburgh, PA. Love the respect you have given all of us. You're a true Patriot. 👍
Trucker here. Thank you Tom for the recocognition. It really means a LOT
Every time I have a big truck pass by I silently say thank you - just saying 🙌
@@mysticallyme I LOVE THIS!! Thank you in return for your quiet reverence within your own car. 💜
Thank you so much, Sir! Thank you for keeping us going!~ 💜
Giving a 3 minute and 34 second moment of appreciation to the people that make our communities function, safe, and moving forward. Thank you Tom MacDonald!
GOD BLESS YOU Mr. MacDonald! I’m a Steel Worker from Indiana and this song brought tears to my eyes! Thank You
Thank you Sir without you we could not build the world .Much love from Kentucky 🙏🏻🫡🇺🇸😘
Hvac guy in stl. Same here. 👍🏽
Thank you Tom your voice reaches out to us all ❤ I watched my dad support my sister and I work full time 8 to 5 mon - fri to put us through school, he barely had time to do things or spend time with us and my mom but he was a hard working man... he is my hero and finally retired last year. Any person who supports their family working long hours, even those who dont have a family, those working long hours struggling right now to live, you all are HEROS in my eyes. All the ones who build our roads, fix our power lines, work in nursing homes, etc all of you are heros! ❤
This song made me weep. There is no longer pride and glory for the hard working blue collar backbone of this country. There is a young family next door to me, the father is a fabricator and part time mechanic. He works his ass off so his wife can stay home and raise their 3 boys. It gives me so much pride to see young people commit to good values and strong families, because we, families are under attack at ever turn. God bless every hard working red blooded American that reads this. My wife and I with our 6 boys pray for you every morning.
Hollywood would never do something like this. Thank God for giving us Tom.
Professional truck driver for 39 years. 3.5 million accident and ticket free miles and was always glad to get back home to my wife. Thanks, Tom.
WOW, I take my hat off to you and all truck drivers. That is a lot of hours spent behind the wheel.
People take trucking for granted. You guys are literally the blood the courses through the veins of this country. Without you guys, we'd have empty shelves, unsupplied restaurants, useless online stores, etc. Never forget that!
My ex GF does OTR and I can't thank her enough.
❤
Fellow trucker here.
I was on and off since 1994, in between having and raising 8 children. When my husband passed in 2013. I had to solo it the best I could.
Thank you for your time and the miles brother. I'm still out here turning the wheels and paying the bills.

Thank you for seeing us. I’ve been a farmer most my life and a fire fighter for 14 years. I didn’t think I’d tear up today. Just thank you for your work and the support you give to us.
Contractor here. This song made me cry! Nothing makes me cry!! I’m a hero to my wife and kids, but to my clients I’m just a guy they think charges them to much to do a job. they have no idea what it takes or that I work 17 hours a day to get it done and barely pay my bills. Thank you tom! You were here once and look what you made yourself. You are a hero to me.
Forklift operator at the fourth largest lumber yard in the country. I'm supplying the material to build houses, apartments, and other buildings. I get to see the fruits of my labor all over and it makes me proud. Thanks for the recognition Tom. Keep up the good work and God bless.

THANK YOU, TOM!!! YOU ARE MY HERO!! You really are! My father was/is my hero too... held many roles, including SWAT, undercover narcotics, homicide detective, hostage negotiator, Chief of Police, and even did work for 2 U.S. Presidents. A TRUE unsung hero! One grandfather was also a police officer, one grandfather was in the army WWII. My direct great grandfathers (to the Nth generation) include 3 major founding fathers (John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and William Floyd). They are ALL my heroes...

Thank you for your service
❤❤❤ THANK YOU all my hard working brothers and sisters doing thankless jobs for little pay and helping to hold the world together!

Thank you so much, I was a lunch room worker, and a housekeeper for most of my career. It's nice to hear thank you you make a difference.
Veteran, Firefighter, Mechanic. Tom and Nova, you are my heroes. Thank you.
Worked for a supermarket out here on the east coast for 28 years now and just about to start a second full time job with the railroad. Thank you Tom for all you do to help and bring light to those of us that are not considered heroes.
My husband just heard this song and it hit deep. He's a Naval veteran and now a truck driver. Thank you!
Been a hard working blue collared worker since 1998 my body is shot but get up every morning put in my 10 to 12 hours. Also I'm a volunteer firefighter/EMS and spend countless hours training and responding all hours of the night and go to work with no sleep. Thank you for recognition we all appreciate it.
THE SONG IS EXACTLY WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO LISTEN TO ❣️ LOVE IT ❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲
Bro, this hits so damn hard. I shed tears thinking of my old man listening to this. He was a mechanic that fought cancer for years before passing. but never stopped being a source of strength and wisdom for my mom, little brother and I. Here's to the real heros, everyday people.
Thank you Tom.
Tom this is a godamn masterpiece. Thank you for noticing and appreciating the working class who carry on with no recognition everyday. God bless you
I have a cousin whom is a firefighter, a few cousins that are cops, and several family members that are either veterans or active duty. My father is one of the families veteran. Thank you for not only supporting our troops but also those who don't get the recognition they deserve. We love you Tom. ❤
Thank you to the paramedic who tried to save my daughter and cried with me when she passed away. He truly tried and truly cared.
I'm so sorry for your loss. ❤ I can't imagine the heartache. Stay strong! People love you
I am so sorry. Sending you lots of love from my heart. She is in heaven, and you will see her again. 💖💖💖💖💖
I'm so sorry 😢

Rest in peace to her she still loved u
Tom, and team... Thank you. For recognizing all the moving parts that make America and the world work.
Heavy duty diesel mechanic, and trucker here... Thank you, this means so much.
I spent 3 years delivering medication to hospice patients and nursing home patients. I showed up to people’s homes with a smile and a kind voice, because that is all I could offer. I had multiple families thank me for my actions. I was told in those dark days seeing someone like me arrive with a smile and a story or two showed respect and kindness. I changed jobs and still remember those folks.
Thank you for what you do. Stay blessed.
I am a janitor. People often mock us for not being more. Sometimes it makes me sad that i'm considered a low citizen. But then i remember Lord Jesus Christ was born in a dirty place with animals, he was a mere carpenter, walked the earth as a poor and humble man. I wouldn't want it to be any different for myself.
Thanks for your song man, it means a lot ♥
Thank you for being a honest hardworking individual , we see ya 😎⚡😎
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."
He was also homeless. Jesus said, "The foxes have holes, and the birds have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head."
You are not a low citizen! Thanks for all you do for the kids!
Why would anybody knock a janitor. I think anybody that does should have to do your job for 1 day. Thank you for everything you do!!
We need more people like Tom MacDonald on this planet.
I served 25 years in the Army, served in numerous war zones, and current Police officer. I want to truly thank you Tom for your gratitude, not for myself but for my comrades that never came home from foreign shores and the men and women who pin on the badge to help this country be a better place. To all the people that run to the danger and make this country great again, I salute you ! 🇺🇲
I’m a US Army Vietnam vet and a retired 25 year police detective. I was injured on the job and now I’m 100% disabled. Live alone. I must use a walker. I can’t drive. But I’m NOT BITCHING. It is what it is and I’m proud to have just served. Thank you so very very much Tom. God bless you. 🙏🏻
I wanted to say thank you for this song, Mr. Macdonald.
I was in a near fatal car accident back in 2015 & a firefighter EMT saved me & pulled me the sunroof. Then handed me off to the medical EMTs & I was in a coma for a month.
Doctors, nurses & certified nurse assistants care for me & kept me alive.
Also had a cop help escorted the EMTs to a different hospital.
I will always support the first responders, I am still alive & safe because of them.
Thank you, to the first responders out there & to the fire fighter who got to me just in time.
oil field worker here and we appreciate that some people see the sacrifice and not just the money
❤ thank you from this nurse! Son is a trucker, daughter is a teacher, husband was military and served in Vietnam. Thank you to all the real heroes!
Thank you all for your service!!❤
@@KimWilson-LoveWins ❤️
Proud to say, this song and video brought tears to my eyes.58 year old vet, I remember when this was the country we lived in. When our country and especially our politicians and even the media felt this way about our country. I pray that this video goes viral and changes the lives of those that watch it. Thank you.
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.
@@TexJester-no8th Thank you for all you do! The pandemic made a lot of us realize how we've been taking you all for granted. 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.
respect
@@TexJester-no8th my Son works at a middle school, way dirtier than a public bathroom😊😊 he works for the Government, so he has perks, health insurance. I always want to thank Truckers, they have saved my life, been kind when I needed it, and made me feel safe on the roads. Much respect, for you.
Trucker here and son of a farmer and teacher. Thankyou Tom. We feel underappreciated everyday. I've listened to all your songs, and this is my favorite one so far. You're our voice.
Thank you for everything you do.
Trucker here, so many of us out on the road, acting as America's economic backbone, don't feel the appreciation, and for you to even mention us, brings back some hope. We spend so much time away from our families so that every American can do their jobs, and have the things that they want. Thank you very much Tom
Thank you for the shout out! I work on an ambulance. And on behalf of all of us YOU ARE WELCOME 💖And thank you to everyone out there that puts one foot in front of the other every day and keeps it pushin 💖
Thank you to the combat soldier who went into war before me. Thank you to the cop who stopped robber from robbing me one night 20 years ago at 3am in Kansas. Thank you to the sanitation worker who comes every Wednesday and gives me a brand new start to my week. Thank you to all the neighbors and people that take a stand against tyranny.
I'm a truck driver, and I appreciate you. Thank you Tom
Thank you! My husband was a Vet and died in 2018. I'm in Healthcare. I love this song just as much as your others. I'm proud to be a part of the HOG family!
It's songs like this that puts Tom on top every single time he drops. It's people, like the commenters here, that are keeping America Great and will get us through these rough times.
Thank you Tom for this! I'm a dispatcher for a trucking company and my boyfriend is a veteran now a mechanic. After the week, we've had this really put a smile on my face.
Thank you to whoever reads this for being you. Thank you Tom! We needed this.
Thank you for being you and doing what you do stranger.
Thank you for loving enough to say it! I love you all! I appreciate all!
I know I needed this :(
It's sad that these people hardly get represented or shown because they're not seen as cool or important, when in reality they're some of the coolest people on the planet.
Thank you Tom! (Trucker here)
I'm a pipeline welder and use to be an electrician. Thank you for the song Tom. Not to many songs about just your everyday people.
Everyday people are the real hero’s
This gave me goosebumps. The line "doing jobs that would damage your ego", so true. Awesome song.
Also wanted to say Thank you with all my heart to the NICU doctors and nurses who kept my son alive when he was in the unit. He just turned 26 and I thank you all for every day I have him in my life!
Tom MacDonald and Nova have no idea of how much they are appreciated for the music they bring out to the people around the world. So thank you Tom & Nova for all that you both do and the sacrifices you make to get your music out to the public. And thank you to Mr. & Mrs. MacDonald for raising an amazing and talented son. Tom and Nova have shown us that it's possible to turn your life around which exactly what Tom MacDonald has done wth his life with Nova's help. To me you're both heroes ❤️ 💙 God bless you both and your family ! Amen 🇨🇦 🙏 America 🇺🇸
As a welder/fabricator building dump trucks, snow plows, and flat beds I appreciate the recognition for the people the get up everyday to go to a job they hate to support their families and keep the world moving.
Thank you Tom MacDonald for your music that puts things in to perspective.
I am a delivery driver. Had to work through the pandemic when everything was shut down. We rolled on getting done. Everyday praying I didn't take the virus home to my family. On another side. I've had a gun pointed at me because a guy cut me off. I was able to go through a parking lot to get away from him. 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. I get it done with most days not getting a simple Thank You. Just alot of I got more furniture coming to my apartment on the fourth floor. All for purple promise.
Bless you man
I thank you for all your hard work! Praying that you stay safe 🙏
Thank you for the hard work and keeping things running!! I really appreciate it.
HVAC Installer here. Working long hours under houses and out in this 100 degree heat daily getting people cooling. It's rewarding. A smile on a face and a handshake keeps me going. I love this. But you never hear tradesmen talked about as heroes or really glamorized. We're just the grunts that make the world work. We don't get headline news spots like million dollar athletes arguing over how many millions they get that year.
Thank Tom. It's a good song. Telling the daily people working hard that they're a hero helps. Sometimes we feel like dirt.
❤❤❤
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
This one hits home, my hubby retires in a couple weeks after 30 years as a carpenter, his body is wrecked, arthritis, back surgery, knee injections...the list goes on. He busted his ass for his family, he is our hero. Thank you for this tribute, they all deserve their flowers.
This is my HERO too.

I'm a school bus driver for special needs ❤ I'm truly blessed to be a part of these children's lives❤❤
@@dianejiminez1229 HERO🙏
I commend you for all you do for those children. YOU make a difference.
My mom used to drive the school bus for the handicapped and special education students in the county school. I used to ride her bus to school if I wanted to sleep late, because the high school I attended was right across from the Middle School where the handicapped and special education students had their own school, a separate building from the Middle School, but on the same campus. She’d drop her students off at their school on the Middle School campus, and then take me across the road and let me off at the High School. I remember being picked on by some of my school mates hanging around outside the High School before the bell rang to head to your home room class. They were just joking around, of course, not trying to be mean, but still saying something about me riding the “short bus”. That was almost 40 years ago, and I still remember those children on mom’s bus, and how sweet and loving they were. One girl was in a wheelchair, and couldn’t speak, but she could understand everything you said to her. Her parents dressed her so pretty every day, and she would just grin from ear to ear when you told her how pretty she was. She had been left handicapped because of a school bus accident when she was younger, I believe. I remember one girl who was so funny because she called everyone “fart head”, and she would laugh so hard. That was my mom’s favorite bus route. She later took a bus route driving for the students in the Elementary, Middle, and High Schools, because I think the special needs school on the Middle School campus was torn down, and and those students were relocated. It was a long time ago, and my memory isn’t as sharp as it once was. But I am thankful that I got to spend some time with those students, because they made a lasting impression on me, and I have a special affection towards people like them, because they are precious. It’s why I believe that all human life has tremendous value, and it should not matter if a babe in the womb has what this world calls a “defect” when it comes to them being “worthy” of life. All human life is important to God, made in His image, and that alone makes every human life “worthy” of being born. It’s not for us to decide which human life has value, and which doesn’t, and to even think that we should have that power to decide the value of another human life, or when it should end, is man trying to usurp God’s authority, and it’s wrong.
Bless you 🙏❤
@@karenwhynott6487 And you as well
And Tom is a hero to the independent musicians out there. He’s proving that it IS possible!
As a retired Army disabled veteran, thanks Tom, we truly appreciate you and Nova for your support, we love you both!! ❤🇺🇲
Boggles my mind that people hate this man. He's over here inspiring us to be better humans, and showing gratefulness in every area of life. Much respect Tom!
I love this song my husband works for a supermarket delivering peoples groceries and I work as a cashier and cleaner for minimum wage and its a thankless job. I will forever be grateful to the paramedics nurses and drs who have save my life on multiple occasions when i had a serious asthma attack and both of my daughters lives a few times each too when they had serious asthma attacks. They will all always be heroes to me.
I’m all choked up!!! God Bless our heroes. Please protect all God!
Thank you, Tom! Truckers wife here. Every day my husband spends away from his family is very difficult for us all. Seeing him get recognition for the long hours, all the danger he faces from bad drivers to protesters, days to weeks away from his family makes me feel so happy that he is seen! Thank you for this! And to everyone else, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO! WE KNOW WHO REALLY KEEPS THIS COUNTRY RUNNING!❤️🙌🏻
I'm not a trucker but I drive commercially. It's crazy to see how many people do dumb things to truck drivers. It's almost like they don't understand that if the guy behind the semi isn't paying 100% attention and you merge your car 3ft in front of them, you're dead. Not the trucker, you! xD Like people drive around semis like maniacs with zero concern and it's just crazy to me.
@NM-qd3tm My husband is a trucker, and he says the same thing. It makes him so frustrated when people cut him off as if he can stop his semi truck on a dime 🤦♀️.
As an EMT since I was 18 (I won’t say how long it’s been lol but it’s been a long time) and it’s been the best career in the world. I absolutely LOVE it. We see a lot we wish we could forget but nothing beats being there for someone who needs someone to help. There is no better feeling than that. Thank you for including us in this song along with all of public safety, who often only get talked about when something goes wrong. But that is a very small percentage of what actually happens.
Like every profession listed in this song, we don’t get to work in the best, cleanest, easiest conditions but when it’s what you’re meant to do and what you’re good at, it’s in your blood and you take pride in it. To ALL of the people with names no one remembers are always the heroes that we all count on to show up….Thank you to you ALL! God bless 💗🙏🏼🇺🇸
From a family of nurses, paramedics, and fire fighters we appreciate the support. We don’t choose these paths for the praise, but a thank you is always appreciated. And in return I would like to say on behalf of my family thank you Tom. We appreciate you. ❤
Thank you all for you Care and your Service🙏🏻🫡🇺🇸😘

I’m a courier and I deliver all of your Amazon and Wal mart stuff all day every day, but what I also deliver is medication for cancer patients, most of the medication is dependent on me making that delivery, I have a story of one customer that I delivered his medication on a monthly basis and him and his wife would be so grateful when they saw my truck coming up the driveway…until recently I was told to not bother because his condition got worse and they were in the process of getting him ready for his last days, his wife was so grateful she gave myself and other drivers that delivered for them homemade jam as a thank you, this song makes me think of how I helped him and also my other customers with their medication especially now one of my regulars for medication is own father whom is my hero because he is a truck driver delivering milk for 46 years, thank you Tom for giving love to the people that keep this world running.
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.
From a welder I wanna say thank you. Thank you for acknowledging those of us that don't ever expect to be acknowledged.
Thank you Sir, without you nothing would get built 🙏🏻
I don't think people truly understand how much you all do. My fiance is also a welder and has custom stuff all over the Chicagoland area, used to do tradeshow exhibits that were remarkable only to become landfill memories. The company he's with signed NDAs when they were building the bud light packman commercial that aired only a handful of times but was specifically for the superbowel some years back.
If no one thanks you today, thank you from me to you HOG! ❤
@ItsLaurenE tell your fiance he's a member of a dying breed of people. We need more people to come into these trades. Nobody seems to want to do these jobs anymore. And thank you for supporting him and the rest of us.
Agree. Us welder dont really expect to get recognition from people and when i hear it in a song i was like “wow thats a big surprise”
@@dirtyjersey6774 absolutely, I'm always blown away with what he does. Coming home with semi new work tees already got welder holes. Washing his laundry separately even though I say it's ok to do it together, he says it's too gross. Dealing with welders tan being his only tan. Shop is hot as hell or cold depending on the seasons.
If it gives you some hope, a few of my daughter's friends were taking college welding classes during their senior year, and even sending her pics to ask for his advice. There's still hope and young people who can step in when others can retire.
