They Only Ever Played This 9/11 Video One Time

It’s hard to believe that over two decades have passed since the 9/11 attacks. Reflecting on those events brings back the profound emotions we experienced during that difficult time.

In the aftermath of 9/11, many continued to honor the victims. Among those paying tribute was Budweiser, who created a commercial that became widely recognized.

The ad begins with the iconic Clydesdales running through a field, preparing to pull a wagon. They set off on a journey to an unknown destination.

As they travel through rural landscapes, they eventually reach a bustling city, crossing into New York City via the Brooklyn Bridge. From a distance, the majestic New York City skyline comes into view. The Clydesdales then bow in a solemn tribute to those who lost their lives.
