It keeps getting dusty in the room everytime I see that ad.
Here is it: 'Applause'.

I very much liked the general theme of the commercial. However, there seemed to be some very PC editing going on.
Watching it, you'd swear that the majority of our military is comprised of women, and that white guys are in very scarce supply.

If they were real soldiers, why didn't they have any patches or ranks or name tags on any of their uniforms?
I've got the same *dust* problem. (((sniffle)))
New DCU's picked up in KUwait on the way home. son came home that way
I guess you will have to ask the military and producer.
I am proud to say that my boys and I lived exactly this out in Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta. My boys are 9 and 7. We were in Hartsfield on Christmas Eve waiting for connecting flight when a large group of military came in at a gate close by. ALomst everyone at our gate waiting area stood and applauded as these heroes went by. My boys applauded and even went to shake hands with a couple of the troops. It was just a great experience and a wonderful chance for me to teach my boys about "the important things".
Here's a happy one!!! In case you didn't see this commercial, it's absolutely awesome...there's links to the video of it on the thread...enjoy!
Thank you, makes sense now. I was really bothered that they didn't even have the American Flag patch on their arms.
Thank your son from our family, my daughter just left last week.
Oh wait, he drinks that every day - never mind.
Oh my, the dems are having a fit!!!!
I guess they did it for continuity. They were from various branches, but they wanted them all dressed the same as if they were arriving as a unit. That is what I would suspect.
