(WSIL) -- Budweiser released an updated version of its iconic “Respect� commercial ahead of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The original ad, which aired during the 2002 Super Bowl, showed the infamous Clydesdale horses pulling a Budweiser wagon to New York. The horses stop in Liberty State Park in Jersey City, where the team of horses bowed toward Lower Manhattan.
That ad aired only once, until it was played one more time for the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
The new version uses some of the original footage, including the scene where the horses cross the Brooklyn Bridge. In the final image, the horses, standing on the grass of Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey, lower their heads before the New York City skyline, where the Tribute in Light that has replaced the destroyed World Trade Center is visible against the twilight sky.
The new version ends with a message in white letters against a black background: “Twenty years later, we’ll never forget.� The company’s logo then shows for seven seconds, along with onscreen mentions of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and the Never Forget Fund.
