Today, on this sad day of remembering 9/11, we want to show you a touching commercial that still brings up strong feelings. This ad, shown just once, really captures the importance of coming together and remembering in a powerful way.
In this famous Budweiser commercial, the big Clydesdale horses are the stars, honoring the people who died on that sad day. The ad starts with a strong image of the horses running through a field, looking beautiful with their gear on, and then they pull a wagon away from an old barn. As they travel along a snowy road in the countryside, people watching are amazed by these big, beautiful animals.
But the story doesn’t stop there. The horses cross the Brooklyn Bridge, going right into the middle of New York City, with the big buildings in the background. There’s a close-up of one horse’s face, showing how strong and determined they are. Then, we see the Statue of Liberty, which stands for how strong and hopeful America is.
The music gets louder, and the horses bow down in front of the statue, showing respect and unity. This part of the ad really touches people, making them feel emotional as they remember the ones who died.
This moving commercial first aired during Super Bowl XXXVI on February 3, 2002, and it’s something we all remember. Every year, on this sad day when we remember what happened, it shows up online again. It reminds us how important it is to stay together and never forget.
Let’s pause for a moment to remember and respect the people we lost on 9/11. Let’s also think about how strong and tough we are as a country. Today, we’re all together, remembering the past and hoping for a better tomorrow.
