Most memorable recruiting "ads" and "military commercials"?
Throughout the years there have been some absolutely awesome military advertisements (print, magazine/newspaper, billboard, theater, television, radio, online, etc.); so, what is that particular one that you remember most? Is/was there an ad that impacted your view of the military or desire to serve (or continue to serve)? In order to maintain a fun and interesting discussion thread, selections need not be necessarily modern or even officially service sponsored; although, it would be interesting to see how the official service-sponsored versions has influenced us all. Also, if there was a military program (drag race, NASCAR, Armed Forces sports, color guard/honor guard/ceremonial detail/drill team, community support, parade, military band, "wrapped" vehicle(s), Blue Angels, Tops in Blue, sponsored recruiting events, etc.) or military event that was highly visible to the public, what impact did this have on your image of the military? This should be an interesting and exciting discussion, so fasten your seatbelts and let's get the conversation rolling; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

PFC Minchey, thanks for posting, you bring up another great category, those commercials "saluting" our military, like the Ford and the Budweiser ads (that you posted further down in the thread below). These also reflect public perception, just a bit more positive than the comedic versions. Thanks for taking the conversation in a new direction... and thanks again for posting!

I have no idea what they are talking bout but some of these were people I knew and didn't know. I haven't done anything like that since 2006. So I am curious if anyone has seen this commercial. I have googled it and cannot find it. This is very strange....
