    Great commercial,

    that said, I wonder if their company policies are as patriotic and they support the military (and freedom). It has become very "commercial" for companies to show support. Home Depot a year or so ago came out with a commercial that was on the same premise, at the same time they were taking away the military discounts for Veterans.

    I've never heard of Food-City, so they may in fact be pro freedom and pro military. Just stating what's on my mind when I see these type of commercials

    Erm, where did you hear Home Depot was taking away military discounts for Veterans? I get them all the time, most recently in September when I bought supplies for a Boy Scout camporee.

    I too am a little hesitant as well when I see companies who use military folks in thier commercials. Is it just me, or did I fail to see how they supported the military or military veterans? At the end all the text saidd was they celebrated them. It just seems to me that they were using a tear-jerking subject for publicity. There is nothing that I can see on their website indicating they support any veteran groups or military supporting organizations. Yeah it was a salute... I just don't like advertisements that utilize war veterans' sacrifices.

    Again, I may not have seen the meaning of the commercial, but this is the few things that I look at when looking at commercials. Remember the true goal of commercials is to sell more stuff.

    And have people talking about them. By the looks of it they succeeded quite well.

    Wow. I saw this about 2 weeks ago when Mike Rosen mentioned it and posted it on his web page and I just ass-u-me-ed it was posted already here somewhere. (I have re-post fear I guess )

    Awesome ad.
