Bud Commercial: Airport Patrons Applaud Returning Troops

Possibly the greatest commercial ever made - As troops return from the war on terror, the crowd in the airport break out into applause - and in the end, the advertisment says thank you - I would have liked them to have added "Welcome Home," as well.

DDunker,

I too am sorry for the treatment you received returning from war. It is indefensible and was uncalled for. Thank You for your service to this Country from a very grateful American.

@douggie7772010 Blaming your lack of success on others is a sign of a mental illness.

@bagobuilder  Most likely he is someone who wishes he had been in the military but knew he couldnt handle it. I have met many people like that. They criticize what they envy.

@KouriRyu There is a difference between modest and being an ass, I think you fall into the latter. I have absolutely no problem with people expressing their gratitude for my service. I am extremely grateful for those who served before me and I respect those of our generation who have the same feelings.

@KouriRyu I understand all of that, I really do, but it's the very least that us Americans can do for the military. Me for one, simply because I could not join the military. Had I been able to, I would have been right next to you. Not trying to hold you up on a pedestal, but like I said, it's because of our military is why we are free, not the Commander in Chief or the damned government.

I have played the greatest song ever written (The American National Anthem) in front of about 800 of our HEROES once they came back, and let me tell ya, it was the most moving and powerful moment that I have ever been a part of, and I could barely finish song without crying. After I finished it, one hell of a huge "USA, USA, USA!!!" chant broke out, and when that happened is when I let the tears flow. God Bless our country and the men & women that fight for my freedom every day. THANK YOU.

They say Thank You, but so many soldiers come back to a troubled life from war suffering from PTSD or missing limbs.

So, I really do question the 'Thank You' at the end sometimes. =/

I saw this happen IRL. I cheerfully joined the applause, calling out to the few Air Force uniforms among the Army crowd.

I am a veteran of the USAF, and I approve this message. :D

@beardieboys2 This retired servicemember and liberal uses a slightly more narrow brush when painting people.

@douggie7772010 How do they affect your ability to get a job? IN this market it is about several factors but among those are many things only you control.
