    I just finished watching a show on the History Channel on 9/11.

    It had footage of alot of firefighters up close, who went in and did not come back. They all died. It is horrible to see them and realize they are walking right into their death.

    It's emotionally exhausting and it feels like it just happened yesterday.
    I feel this way every year on the anniversary, as do alot of people.
    There is another show on at midnight and going to watch that too.
    It seems so important not to forget.

    RIP to all of them who died that day...............

    I personally have not watched anything about 9/11 tonight ( thanks to HBO) But it is nothing new, and it always makes me cry ( especially when I am premenstrual) This is something that will be burned in my head forever, I will NEVER forget that day, Kind of like Pearl Harbor.

    I know...It was HORRID! I was in shock! I can't even describe how bad it was around here. We have the Nuc Station and the National Guard in my town.My mother and I went for a walk and we had fighter jets swarming the sky! Talk about UNREAL!

    This is the SuperBowl 2002 commercial from Anheuser Busch, showing the Budweiser Clydesdales paying homage at the Ground Zero site. I thought it was beautiful and touching...I was not offended.

    Some thought it was tacky for AB to try to profit from tragedy. I thought it was a nice thought.....

    That always makes me cry, but I love the thought they put into it. Thanks for posting it!

    I'm watching the History channel special right now and some guy on a cell phone just said he didn't arrive at work on time at the towers because he was watching Monday night football. "Monday Night Football saved my life", he said.

    A teeny bit of humor to inject into the situation. Good for that guy, too.

    I was absolutely not offended that was so beautiful. I remember that commercial.. my brother throws a SuperBowl Party every year..and everyone in the room watching the game quieted down to watch once we figured out where the horses were going.

    The one where they are carrying their fellow firefighter always gets me. He was already gone at that point.

    Have you seen the Budweiser 9/11 tribute?

    An Anheuser-Busch advertisement for Budweiser beer features the company's signature Clydesdale horses appearing to pay their respects to the tower-less New York skyline. It was aired just once, during the broadcast of the 2002 Super Bowl [20]. Yeah I stole that from wiki.

    They only aired it once as they did not want to have it seen as an ad trying to capitalize on the tragedy. I looked for a post and could not find one.

    It makes me cry every time.

    I remember those well. I thought they were very moving and I was really pissed when the 'critics' said they were trying to capitalize on the tragedy. Good lord.

    I have, remember I grew up in Savannah and well the Clydesdales USED to come to the St Paddy's parade. You could go see em at the local Ford Dealership aforehand.

    I want one. The Mr says no. My Daddy says no. Dammit.

    Never saw the ads since I dont watch football. I do remember the two 18-wheelers trucks that cross the country making deliveries, the drivers have had the pentagon, the towers in NY and the field in shanksville, pa all professionally painted on the sides of their trucks. Complete with the names of the ones lost. I saw this while they were picking up freight at the Port of Oakland. They were leaving Oakland bound for Miami

    I saw it, and found the commercial extremely touching. It's as if the horses knew they were on sacred ground.
