A salute and a thank you to the men and women who are the backbone, the heart and soul of this country. Those who go to work each day and who do their best to do the job right, not just good enough. Because good enough is never good enough. Those who work not for the headlines or fame, but because there are jobs to be done. Those who we see each day, but never seem to notice until they are not there.

To the young lady at the bank who knows you by your name, not your bank account number.

To the plumber fixing the leak in the upstairs bathroom.

To the assistant principal who loves to ride his harley.

To the single mother struggling to make ends meet who brings your morning coffee.

To all the policemen and firemen who are there when we need them.

To the trucker who drives countless miles through countless towns.

To cable and telephone repairmen who work tirelessly to restore power after the storm.

To the hairdresser who needs a pair of western boots for her horseshow.

To mechanics and body repairmen who maintain our cars so that we can maintain our lifestyles.

To the office manager who is Mr. Fixit around his home on weekends.

To mail carriers, landscapers, teachers, carpenters, nurses, busdrivers, little league coaches, and every veteran from every war.
