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.
This ad was shown just one time during the Super Bowl, but the complete version is available to watch here:
She had several siblings and was homeless when she was born. Years later, she became a famous star
In the chilly depths of 1946, amidst the Tennessee mountains, a tale unfolds, a tale woven around a little girl born into a clan of twelve siblings. Despite their humble circumstances, her brothers deemed her the epitome of beauty, their unwavering devotion a beacon of solace through tough times. While some neighbors argued that their financial struggles were akin to others’, the family’s fierce love for the newborn remained unshakeable.
Raised in a household where a bounty of siblings was the norm, the girl inherited her father’s resolute, business-minded spirit, coupled with her mother’s creative flair and spiritual depth. It’s from this blend that her remarkable journey finds its roots.
From early days in church, she discovered her gift for song, fueled by a stubborn determination. Authenticity became her creed, before fame adorned her, she adorned herself in her mother’s handmade garments fashioned from sacks and scraps, defiantly unique despite warnings from patriarchs.
That tenacious spirit blossomed into none other than Dolly Parton, now a titan of country music at 77. Her legacy spans far beyond melodies, with a charitable empire worth $500 million and a repertoire of 3,000 songs echoing worldwide.
Though not touring presently, Dolly remains industrious, composing melodies aplenty. Yet amidst her bustling career, she remains devoted to Carl Dean, her husband of 1966. Their enduring bond, whether traversing the country in their RV or nestled at home, is her true joy.
Dolly’s life stands as a testament to the triumph of love, creativity, and sincerity over adversity, a living testament to perseverance and the enduring power of the human spirit.
