Featuring the Budweiser Clydesdales, icons of an American brand and proud symbols of New York, the video delivers a powerful message of remembrance and hope. The Clydesdales traverse the Brooklyn Bridge towards the city’s skyline, passing by the Statue of Liberty, and pause to honor the new vista of New York—a landscape forever altered without the iconic Twin Towers. In a moving tribute, the horses bow in solemn memory.
