    America needs more Steve Hartman's in the media. We need to be telling the stories of the millions of people who love America and keeps our nation going.
  • @mattdeans9873
    An hour of being teary eyed and choked up. I know this isnt't the Garden of Eden but damn-it the lesson is so simple. Love one another.
  • @lisajeter9511
    I love how the twins have more wisdom in their hearts and knowledge them so many adults get in a lifetime!
  • @LauraGBay
    Those kids who sit with kids at lunch are amazing. All stories are so touching.
  • @dougburt2449
    Why can't we have more shows like this! REAL AMERICANA! The good. No Politics, No Bullying, No Ultra Opinions- me, me, me opinions. Real people, sharing, cating!

    I loved the story of the young men, that joined the older woman for dinner. What a nice guy to see an elderly woman & ask to join her, it made me smile from ear to ear… I think people spend way to much time on phones & computers & not socializing… so a story like this brightens my day 😊
  • @cherylhaugen1897
    Being twins is so very important! It transcends size, shape, age, or color! Bless them both!
  • @cherylhaugen1897
    We lived in Minnesota for 45 years. We were there when Steve Hartman started “On The road” we have enjoyed it every since! Thank you, Steve!
  • @laurarudolph7451
    Aww that is awesome the Cinderella story and the players. All of them. The teacher who took his student in with health issues. An angel and they look alike!
  • @b.visconti1765
    That good looking young man with the wide smile who told the story of the touchdown made Me feel Good today seeing such kindness alive and well in our youth today..May the New Year bring You Many Blessings❤️🎉
  • @mk719x3
    The third story just brought me to tears!!! My child had a friendship just like those 2 beautiful girls until middle school. It's been a year now and she is still effected by their friendship ending. She still doesn't understand why. The other girls mom and I still talk, are still friends and we pray that one day they will be able to reconcile their friendship. I pray these 2 girls go the distance!! 🙏❤️🙏
  • @gptable
    These stories never fail to make me genuinely weep. Such powerful stories ❤
  • @user-lq7no2mh5k
    Kind people are such gifts! Thank you Steve and crew for finding them for us! Absolutely love you all.
  • @MRBCA500
    Steve Hartman has a gift for telling stories. It's the narration, the core story, the sentiment, the camera angles, the body language response. Someone give this guy a Netflix special, please.
  • @teschchr122
    This is the perfect time of the year to highlight these touching stories. Actually, in general we need these stories every day!

    The boy who bought the soldier lunch then went to his dad’s grave and hugged the headstone. I am sobbing.
