| #12 Next week they're going to show the follow-on commercial of Ted Kennedy walking through an airport, to show the aerodynamic properties of a can of Bud. |

| #11 I teared up reading about the ad on the ESPN site. Good for Bud, I might actually have to buy a case to show my support even though I don't like the stuff (Karl Strauss is the beer man in San Diego) |

| #9 Thank you for posting this, Sherry. I don't watch football - and I was working last night anyway - so I didn't see it. What a heartbreakingly beautiful commercial. It eloquently expresses exactly what I feel. And yes, I cried. If I drank beer, I would buy some Bud just for this. |

| #8 The reason the ad is so effective is because it reflects how so many of us actually feel. I always want to cheer when I see members of the military, especially when it is in airports and you sense that they are coming from the front. I will buy Bud now. |

| #7 Oh, and I also read somewhere over the weekend, that Busch gave to 50 military folks, either coming from Iraq or Afgran or going, $600 - $700 tickets for the game! |

| #6 Heard on Rush, from a Marine father, that 300 Marines in NC, stood and cheered!!! His voice kinda had a little ??? catch in it as he told his story! I do believe this one commercial will make the rounds through the military, and will do much to convincing them, "we do support you!" I knew there was a reason my Marine was a Bud man! |

| #1 I saw it during the game. It made my eyes mist up -- no sarcasm here, it really did. A very classy gesture and a very moving commercial. |
