  • The little things like this video make our job worth doing.

  • Great job,. Great song. We are definitely the forgotten ones when the shit hits the fan and people don't realise the work we do to get supply back on.

    Liney from Australia

  • I really want to thank you for this inspirational video. This really helps me grasp the importance of my job. I actually shed a tear...

  • Thank you so very much, from an old worn out lineman.

  • thank you,that is a lovely tribute.ive been on the lines fifteen years now sometimes working 19 day shifts and currently on 11 days in scotland.its a tough life but some days it can still be the best job in the world,i know the guys i work with better than family.nice to be appreciated,thanks again johnnny....

  • great video im a lineman in LA and u can imagine how old our system is we r constantly working trouble late at night but my girl is always there when i get home she will love this video

  • thank you so much. It is true that people truly don't appreciate lineman. I have been cussed for not getting the lights on quick enough but they never take into consideration how long we have been working or when the last time we seen our wives and kids. They never thing that we risk our live everyday just so they can have a normal day with the lights on. We ask for no pity because we are LINEMAN it is what we do.

  • GREAT video!!

  • wow this video really opens my eyes! i love it! i pray everyday to see my love come home safe in my arms!!

  • Comment removed

  • Many thanks. That touched this old wood walkers heart. God bless.

  • THANK YOU!!!! We linemen spend day's, and nights in rain snow or shine to keep the lights on, or to help other areas that have been hit by bad storms, because it's our job and we LOVE it! Most poeple appreciate us, some say thanks, and others we can't make happy no matter what. God bless you and all other lineman like me, and may he keep us safe!

  • Hey whoever posted this thanks! i will be an apprentice soon. these guys dont get enough recognition, its nice to finally see a video of the real heroes that are out in the storm keeping us warm!

  • I,m 1 of them...everyday my team operate 275kV transmission line from south to north.........

    sometimes the Gas circuit breaker not properly closed...there buzzzz.. we all run away...

  • Thank you for posting this video. I too, pray for my husband and his crew everyday. The work they do is so unappreciated at times. I often go to see him when he has to go work after hurricanes or during ice storms and the people are so rude and mean to them. I often ask him why he does it and the only answer I get is that he LOVES HIS JOB. God Bless all linemen, their crews, and their families. Again thank you for posting!!
