Most of us remember September 11th like it was yesterday, despite the fact that it has been over 20 years. For our nation, it was a moment of deep sadness, but it was also a time of solidarity and patriotism.
Americans from all walks of life joined together to demonstrate to the rest of the world that, no matter what, our nation is together. In keeping with this patriotism, American beer maker Budweiser aired an emotive commercial that even made mature men cry.
The patriotic commercial shows Budweiser’s signature Clydesdales making their way through New York City. They pass the Statue of Liberty, cross the Brooklyn Bridge, and finally pause in a park overlooking the city’s skyline.
“We filmed in New York City,” said Bob Lachky, former executive vice president of Anheuser-Busch Global Creative. “We had a helicopter going over the Brooklyn Bridge.
Mayor Giuliani let us into the city — the only film company of any sort right after 9-11. To actually come into air space with our helicopter to film the Clydesdale … the hitch coming into Battery Park and it was amazing, just amazing.”
The patriotic ad depicts the recognizable Budweiser Clydesdales riding through New York City. Finally, they halt at a park with a view of the city skyline after passing the Statue of Liberty and over the Brooklyn Bridge.
Bob Lachky, a former executive vice president of Anheuser-Busch Global Creative, stated, “We shot in New York City. “A chopper flew over the Brooklyn Bridge while we were there. The only film business of any kind in the city immediately following 9-11, Mayor Giuliani allowed us entry.
It was incredible, absolutely amazing, for our helicopter to actually enter airspace to record the Clydesdale and the hitch entering Battery Park.
