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.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rx0MRawkrj4">https://www.youtube.com/embed/rx0MRawkrj4</a> 2015-06-03T20:38:54-04:00 SFC William Farrell 720520

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why? Guilt for so many years of spitting on us and generally treating us like dog shit.<br />Bitter, yeah, I still am...for the so very many that didn't live long enough to hear all of these belated "welcome homes".
