Post a commercial that made you cry (or at least evoked emotions)

[WillParkinson]

This one gave me chills when I saw it the first time. Still does.

17. I was a pilot.

Wearing a 'seat belt' (with shoulder restraint straps) was required and second nature every time I 'strapped on' an airplane.

When seat belts first became required in cars (yeah, I'm THAT old ) I sat down with my wife and young daughter.

"I want us each to make a promise to the others. EVERY time we get in a car, before the keys go in the ignition, before anything else, fasten your seat belt. OK?"
They agreed, and we have, ever since.

19. Ah yes, you were a pilot......I remember, my dear trof.

I'm that old too!

We always wear ours too...

3. All those old Kodak "Times of your Lives" commercials...

though, sorry, no time to search, but there was a series of them...

Of course more poignant, now that the company (and film photography) is basically gone.

7. Two I can think of:

and

while I'm pro-choice, there was a really good pro-life commercial in the 90's - I recall an empty swing set to a clarinet solo, but I don't recall the sponsoring foundation. Albert something??

10. I love this one:

Maybe it's only because I'm a retired airline employee and totally loved the profession, but this ad still makes me choke up a bit.

21. There was a Great Society PSA titled "Don't Fence Me Out"

The only reference I've been able to find about it so far is that it aired on an episode of Captain Kangaroo in July 1968 (probably where I saw it). Anyway, it shows some probably inner city kid who is trying to fit into society but can't, and he comes to a playground that is encircled by a fence and he wants to get in but can't. So he writes on the sidewalk "Don't fence me out".
