A Touching Tribute: The Iconic Budweiser Commercial
Today, on this somber anniversary of 9/11, we want to share with you a poignant advertisement that continues to stir deep emotions within us. This ad, aired only once, captures the essence of unity and remembrance in a truly powerful way.
In this iconic Budweiser commercial, the majestic Clydesdales take center stage, paying tribute to the lives lost on that fateful day. The commercial begins with a powerful scene of the horses galloping through a field, gracefully donning their equipment before pulling a wagon away from a rustic barn. As they journey along a snowy countryside road, spectators watch in awe as these majestic animals pass by.
But the scene doesn’t end there. The horses traverse the Brooklyn Bridge, making their way into the heart of New York City, with the city skyline looming in the distance. We see a close-up of one of the Clydesdales’ faces, capturing the strength and determination in their eyes. And then, a breathtaking view of the Statue of Liberty appears, symbolizing the resilience and hope that defines America.
As the music swells, the horses bow before the iconic landmark, a powerful display of reverence and solidarity. This moment leaves viewers deeply moved, their hearts touched by the homage paid to those who were lost.
This touching commercial originally aired during Super Bowl XXXVI on February 3, 2002, and it has become etched in our collective memory. Every year on this solemn anniversary, it resurfaces online, reminding us of the enduring power of unity and remembrance.
