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!

I know this sounds cheesy but anything Army Strong. The song is easy to get stuck in your head, the PR campaign and message they're sending is a strong message (yeah, pun intended), and the visuals used in most of the commercials are pretty legitimately bad-ass.
However, I had a friend studying marketing say that Be All You Can Be is one of the most successful advertisement campaigns in our country's history so they definitely got it right on that one.
Epic fail of course, without a doubt goes to Army of One...
Very true CPT Miller, you bring up an excellent point... the 'Army of One' campaign was IMHO an epic example of missing the point; the team concept is hopelessly lost on a campaign that celebrates the individual, many of us at MCRC cringed at this idea back in the day. I think many of us would agree that 'Army Strong' was a vast improvement; I absolutely agree, great point... thanks for sharing!
After they show how Webster's dictionary defines 'strong' they make the statement (with the videos and the great music), "But with all due respect to Webster ... There's Strong ... And then there's Army Strong"
Great ads PFC Minchey, I remember these well; here's a good another great one from this year's Super Bowl... thanks SGT Welsh! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7L5QByvXOQ
