I saw this one in NASA's 2009 "Healthier You" Calendar (in October), and then later, through ProBlogger Blogging Tips.
Either way, I think it's from Tyler Westcott, and I think it's inspirational. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
On a day like today, it's time to give thanks for those who have saved us from war's devastation.
Normally, I don't take my moral cues from commercials. But this video is a good one, and is part of Liberty Mutual's "Responsibility Project".
It's not normally seen on TV, but it is sponsored by Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. As a result, it's probably the best type of advertisement I've seen - helping Liberty Mutual's viewers make the connection between doing the right thing and what their company is promoting that it stands for.
You can check out more about the Responsibility Project at http://www.responsibilityproject.com/about/, and from the Responsibility Project Blog.

Not sure why, but I am inspired by this ad (I've seen snippets of it on TV already) - and I've never been in the military.
From instapundit, a TV ad from the Marines.
As y'all know, I blog quite a bit about football stuff, & I cover Conference USA.
One of the newer C-USA colleges, Marshall University, suffered an indescribable loss back in November 1970. On November 14th of that year, Marshall's football team looked forward to heading back to Huntington, West Virginia, and celebrating their win over East Carolina University.
They never made it home. Their plane crashed on approach to the local airport. All 75 passengers on their chartered plane perished in the crash.
On December 22, Warner Brothers will release "We Are Marshall", the story about the experiences of the town, University, and Program that had to put itself back together.
Here is a USA Today writeup about the film, and here is the trailer (warning: misty eyes moment ahead).
This is a commencement speech from Steve Jobs. I actually read this about a year ago.
Until then, I did not realize the adversities that Steve Jobs had gone through. His advice to the Stanford graduates, and to all of us, is spot on.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
