It has been 19 years since the tragic events of September 11, when nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost. Yet, the pain and sorrow of that day still feel as fresh as if it happened yesterday.
9/11 is a symbol of heartbreak, but it also embodies the unbreakable spirit of American patriotism. On that fateful day, the nation united in defiance against those who sought to harm it. The world stood in solidarity, mourning the lives lost, as people from all corners of the globe shared in the grief of the American people.
In the midst of this national tragedy, one iconic brand, Budweiser, aired a commercial that resonated deeply with viewers. It was a tribute that captured the raw emotion of the moment, a heartfelt message that still brings tears to the eyes of even the strongest among us.
The commercial features Budweiser’s iconic Clydesdale horses, majestically making their way through the heart of New York City. As they pass by the Statue of Liberty and cross the Brooklyn Bridge, their journey leads them to a quiet park, where they pause to gaze at the towering skyline.
In a powerful moment of reverence, the horses reach the site where the Twin Towers once stood. With a solemn grace, they bow their heads in a heartfelt tribute, paying respect to the lives lost and honoring the spirit of resilience that defines America.
The powerful message of the commercial is clear: never forget and never let it happen again.
This tribute ad was only aired again on the 10th anniversary of the attack. “We feel our 9/11 Clydesdales tribute ad is very special,” said Paul Chibe, VP of Marketing at Anheuser-Busch, in a statement. “We were proud to re-air the spot on Sunday, the 10th anniversary, as a way to help raise awareness for the fundraising campaign supporting the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. The subtle changes in the ad were meant to reflect the passage of time, and most importantly, to remind us that we must never forget those who were lost or affected by 9/11.”
