There's a great series of TV ads that the Army shows. What makes them great for me is the inspiring symphonic goodness playing as the action goes on.
It turns out the song is called "Army Strong" and it is freely available for downloading at the United States Army Bands MySpace page if you have an account set up with MySpace. If you don't want the hassle of that, you can also download the mp4 at the U.S. Army Field Bands Listening Room. But don't let them con you into getting QuickTime just so you can play the song. (It is official: QuickTime is now higher up on my devil list than MySpace). Just use VLC and don't regret a thing, since it already comes with all the codecs it needs.
On a side note, you might wonder why QuickTime is ranked higher on the "things-I-hate" list. It is simple. If I need a MySpace account, I can use a throwaway email address to get what I need and am then done. QuickTime, on the otherhand, would have to be installed on my machine, and I've had it up to HERE [raises hand to neck level] with it asking me to buy QuickTime Pro.

I agree I don't like the QuickTime action.
Quicktime is like the cousin that nobody likes. You don't want to play with it, but your mom says if you want to have desert you have to take little Tommy refurb outside with you to play with your toy trucks. But what's that Tommy you want to break my toys!!! UGGHH!! But wait, there's VLC, who like the older cousin with the special brownies says, hey, don't worry about playing with that refurb, have one of these brownies instead, and all is good in the world.
