Really neat Ford commercial. 5 minutes long but worth it.

Ok, tell me there aren't going to be a few manly tears shed over that one. Blows away the Folgers coffee commercial where the guy comes home. Got to share this one with some friends.

Thanks for sharing this with us. Choked me up pretty good.

I remember the Bud commercial a year or so ago. A number of service persons walking through an airport terminal and one person starts to clap, followed by more and finally the whole terminal.

At least there are some companies out there recognizing the sacrifices.

That was very good!

I wish more companies would do something similar.

Thanks for the tip Shaun.

I admit it, I teared up. It wasn't a full blown cry but I did produce some tears.

This commercial aired on American Dreams last year. It coincided with the son JJ coming home from Viet Nam and his dad giving him a Mustang. It was the only commercial shown
