Who sees these ads? Are they on TV, or only on YouTube? If only on the net, how are they promoted so more can see?

If the ad is this good, no matter what the source, I email the link and request it be forwarded. Time to do that right now. :)

America’s finest. The finest men and women the rest of the world may never know. Witness this young man in this ad.

Thanks for your continued service to this great nation, John McCain.

Thanks for the link. The McCain campaign needs to adopt this ad, make it shorter and air it on TV!

Was hoping this was a McCain ad. Saw it posted earlier here--had me standing and cheering. It hits at the heart of the Obama message: we Americans support the right of people to live free--unless we have spend money or spill blood in the struggle to secure that freedom.

What a great way to embolden our enemies and make them think, as Bin Laden did, that we our too soft and self-absorbed to fight back after an attack.

We know where that message took us--to the Khobar Tower bombings (which almost killed my son since he was billeted there with a Patriot Missle battery in 1996), to the Cole bombing, and then to Ground Zero.

So when the DIMS talk about "troop loss" and wring their hands over the numbers, they better realize their own hands are not exactly free of blood!

Also--loved the ad because the soldier in it reminds me of my son, who may be going to Iraq next fall. And the last person I want as his CIC is Obama!

Oh my God! That was a great personal message.

Sir, I don't know you and I may never meet you, but I damn sure respect you!
Thank you for your service and your sacrifice for us and our country.

A shame. Urban viewers are not included as the viewing audience.

I spent a year in Vietnam as a grunt and a year in Iraq (2005) as a civilian. I had the privilege of working with our men and women in uniform in Iraq and there is no doubt they are some of the finest people our country has. To go out, day after day, and face roadside bombs that take lives or limbs, and do it over and over, is something people like Obama can’t even imagine. They should be put on a pedestal, not told their efforts are a waste of time.

Someone should forward this to McCain’s daughter’s blog so she can pass it on to her father...Man, that was moving.

People like you and me email the links to friends, post the links on other threads/blogs, etc. It works!

At McCain's site, you can see all the past ads, too.

While I'm at it, here's another link that a lot of people enjoy checking everyday: it's a blog by McCain's daughter, Meghan. McCainblogette.com

Has lots of inside pics and videos. The home page has an archive.
