Patriotic Person

[bersaguy]

I think most of ya'll know I am a very patriotic person and I love my country with all my soul and heart. This video was made and was going to be used in Super Bowl in 2002 but the people at Anheiser-Busch decided it would be seen in bad taste that soon after 9/11 as trying to profit from such a tragedy so they scrubbed it. I think it has been shown a few times over the years but not much. I think it was one of the best commercials ever made and I still fight back tears when I watch it sometimes. I thought I would share it with those of you that may not have seen it. It is short but gets the point across very well I think. Just click on picture if it does not start automatically

Nice commercial, I love my country too, but I sure don't love what is happening to it.

 

It sure ain't the country I grew up in or learned about in school.

I LOVE my country, it's the government I'm not too crazy about.

Well said, nothing wrong with the country, just the A-holes running it.

Oh, okay, not just me then.

 

Here's original version, from YouTube pretty low res, might be better one somewhere.

They also did a 10th anniversary version, too, "We'll Never Forget", pretty much same, without the snow. Better res.

They certainly have a great team to come up with those.  That is very moving.

 

 

on the one with out the snow, i kinda think they did some computer edits to remove the snow.

 

I believe you can see snow in the hooves near the end. about 40 seconds in.

Reason I had it was a buddy of mine was in charge of advertising for Budweiser in St Louis fr 25 years before retiring and he sent that copy I have right after it was made and he pulled it. I had to promise not to share in for a couple years so I didn't let anyone else see it until about 2004. It has always been close to my heart as one of their best commercials. Just wanted to share it because I think most folks here are patriots and I have to agree whole hardheartedly  that I do love my country and hate what they are doing to it. I'm sure if we as Americans had the mentalities that those stone age people have in the Islamic countries we would have had an American Spring by now. We are a civilized race and not an uncivilized one. (yet)
