VIDEO Budweiser 9/11 ad (awesome)

This is a commercial Budweiser did for 9/11. They only aired it once so as not to benefit financially from it.

Budweiser just wanted to acknowledge that horrible day and pay tribute to America and it's heroes.

Awesome; tugs at your heart.

Thanks Liz - I actually think there are more Clydesdales here in the US than Scotland - just like the Scots themselves these days.

This commercial resonates with most Americans.
Though, no words where spoken, yet, the meaning so profound.

Earlier, I watched the events of 9/11 again on history channel and just now found this post. My heart aches for the lost and their families. We all were affected. It still hurts and now they want to come here and rub our nose in it, right at ground zero!!!. Damn all you Islamic bastards to hell. Your religion is based on evil and satan. It’s time for America to cleanse itself of this cancer.

I cry every time I see that......:(

I think they may be playing us on the building of the mega mosque. Say they want to build a huge islamic center in America, sort of like a second mecca. Of course the American people are going to balk. So they act they are going to build it at Ground Zero, knowing the people will say hell no! So they say well, maybe we can compromise. By then the American people are so relieved they won’t be building at Ground Zero, they won’t fight it being built somewhere else. Viola! They get their mecca II and no one says a word.

Thanks, Liz!

You may be right, but there was a time when America would not have stood for this. Maybe I have lived too long, but I remember a time when the country was unified and stood tall against all enemies foreign or domestic. Now we have enemies within that are willfully opening the doors to the islamic scourge. If we don’t stop it here and now, I doubt we ever will. I learned all I need to know about islam on 9/11. A storm is coming and I may be old but I can still load and keep the powder dry....to the last man.

WIKI At one time there were at least 140,000 Clydesdales known in Scotland; by 1949 just 80 animals were licensed in the UK and by 1975 the Rare Breeds Survival Trust had listed the breed as "vulnerable". Clydesdales have since seen resurgence in popularity and population, resulting in the breed's status being reclassified favorably as "at risk" with an estimated global population of just 5,000 individuals. Clydesdales are now most numerous in the United States where recently over 600 foals are reportedly born each year.

Today, the Clydesdale's most significant presence is in exhibition and parades.

The Clydesdale is a breed of draft horse derived from the farm horses of Clydesdale, Scotland, and named after that region. Thought to be over 300 years old, the breed was extensively used for pulling heavy loads in rural, industrial and urban settings, their common use extending into the 1960s when they were still a familiar sight pulling the carts of milk and vegetable vendors.

They have been exported in the Commonwealth and United States where they are famous for their use as the mascot of various beer brands, including Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser brand, Carlton & United Beverages and several others.

Budweiser is undrinkable but that’s a beautiful commercial and I thank them for making it. Beautiful sentiment.
