For many of us these Welcome Homes have been long overdue. It is only fitting that our current servicemen and women and recent veterans are getting the praise us Vietnam veterans never received. This Guinness is for you!
This is a great commercial....probably one of the greatest to date! Especially now when many of the new commercials on TV are dumb!! Even Budweiser couldn't top this one. Well Done Guinness!! Usually beer commercials are full of goofy characters and funny gags, but this one carries an important message. Guinness "Empty Chair" salutes the character of a community as they honor one of their own who is out of sight, but not out of mind. They remind us that a true test of character is what you do when no one's looking.

What was I thinking. I forgot, I gave up drinking! Enjoy the video and the beer! And if you're in Newport, I'll even buy you one.

Why? Guilt for so many years of spitting on us and generally treating us like dog shit.
Bitter, yeah, I still am...for the so very many that didn't live long enough to hear all of these belated "welcome homes".

Oh believe me, I agree Cpl French. I felt that way for may years, still do in a way. I did not get a welcome home from Nam, my parents weren't at the airport, I hitchhiked home to Brooklyn from JFK. And then got drunk for the next 15 years. You're right, it hurts.
