Major 2005 Mustang TV event

For those that just missed it here is what happened: NBC's program American Dreams had their son, a marine, who was MIA, suddenly return home. During the program a 1967 Mustang ad shows up on a Bus and on the back of a magazine. Then Dad gives his son a 1967 GT to honor his son who was wounded. Ford also runs the Steve McQueen Cornfield ad. It's Mustang everywhere night.

After all this emotion, and it was a tear jerker, the best then comes: You see modern day Marines arriving at an airport in a Ford ad, the mom drives her son home in a new Five Hundred, Dad shows up in a 69(?) fastback and gives the young marine a new 2005. All are in tears by now, including you the watcher.

Then there is a short notice that somewhere it is on the Ford web site. Well I just happened to have the entire thing, 1 hour, on VHS tape since my son and I were messing with some home project until my wife alerted me 1/2 way thru the program.

I could convert the entire hour into an avi, will be a project tho.

Lt Col Arndt, ret, out

The whole program was sponsered by FORD. It went commercial free till the end of the show. There were lots of Mustangs throughout the show. We also watch every Sunday. It brings back memories of time past.

Did you watch Desperate Housewives afterwards? The dad gives the son a GT convertable and he runs over the neighbors mom while drunk. I thought that was just a little bit weird.
