What about the everyday working stiffs male and female who clean the sh!t off of the hospital floors, the truckers that deliver our food, and our every day needs, those people who teach our kids, the workers who are exposed to all the elements who build our homes and shelters, all those in the forestry sector, our farmers who feed us, on and on. Honour, give it to those who deserve it, and earned it, our workers, for, they will end up with very little else for their hard deeds.
