Proud

by Adrienne Van Houten on February 6, 2012

I didn’t watch the Super Bowl on Sunday, I didn’t really care who won.  I used to tape it every year just to fast forward through the games so I could watch the commercials.  With You Tube around I don’t even have to do that anymore.  Honestly, I don’t really much care about them either.  But sometimes 1 or 2 catch my eye.

This one made me cry.  I don’t know if it hits me because I am a Detroiter or because I am an American, but it doesn’t matter.  It hits me.  I hope it hits you too.

the video link isn’t working anymore but I remember hearing it as I chopped tomatoes, and now even my son was quiet (husband’s into cars) and everyone talked about it afterwards.
Clint Eastwood is just magic.

The link is down, but I did see the tail end of it on the tv yesterday. Clint has such a powerful persona — he drew me in. I only wish I could have watched the whole commercial.
