sadly, no more than 500,000 employees these days.

@yorgod123 Wonder how you send mail to the letter carriers? I guess you can just put it in your mailbox addressed to "You. Yes you, in the snazzy white mail van."

They need to dust of this commercial and air it again this year, assuming the postal service still exists by Christmas. C'mon people, go buy some stamps, send some letters, even if it's just a thank you card to local letter carriers.

This ad gave me chills when it came out after September 11, and it still does to this day, nearly a decade later.

Just goes to show: When we're at our worst,,, we're at our best.

Every time I think of this song I get warm fuzzies and remember how much I loved this commercial when I was a young, frightened boy.

@ElTee842L I questioned why the change was made. I was sincerely hoping that those who prefer to engage in debate NOT engage in name calling, innuendo or the like. I am grown up; I have a pair. I have not insulted you in any way, yet disagreeing with me does not seem enough. Ayn Rand once said that "the truth is not for all men but only for those that seek it" By your invective you have proven that you neither seek teh truth or are willing to consider it. QED.

@thanksmess Slippery Slope? They changed one line. I hardly call that a slippery slope. Maybe they wanted to make it an inclusive song, considering that the United States is comprised of non-Judeo-Christians as well. If anyone is offended, it seems to be you, and for no other reason than changing a few words. I stand by my previous statement; grow up.
This is by far my most favorite commercial. Ever.
Thank you for posting it.

I remember first seeing this commercial during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2001. I remember the feeling that it evoked at the time....that we were not going to be beaten! It made such a huge impact that I bought Carley Simon's CD and have been searching for it ever since. Thanks for posting!
