Carhartt, a family-owned corporation, sent this out to recognize who our real heroes are and that what they do is of real value to our society and our nation.

It’s important we recognize that in these uncertain times, hard work doesn’t stop.

We wanted to take this opportunity to recognize those of you who can’t quit, those who continue to outwork them all:

• The doctors, nurses and first responders on the front lines working tireless hours to care for those in our community;

• The staff at your local grocery store, continually working to re-stock shelves so people have what they need.

The ranchers, butchers, bakers, and farmers putting in days of hard work to ensure the grocer has goods to stock the shelves;

• The garbage collectors helping our homes not only stay sanitary but clean;

• Laborer working construction projects because buildings need to be built;

• Truck drivers ensure grocery stores, pharmacies, and home deliveries happen;

• Our active military members at the ready to step in and do whatever’s necessary, whenever necessary at great risk.

We thank all of you for your hard work.

Saluda Broad commends the folks at Carhartt who have their heads in the right place about the plague visited upon us.
