Welcome Home, Touchstone Energy's special tribute to the men and women of America's military serving overseas, aired on the History Channel during the station's Band of Brothers marathon on Memorial Day. This run is part of a May 21-June 3 national media buy, during which the two-minute video will be aired on CNN, CNN Headline News, the Military Channel and History Channel. The tribute has also been viewed nearly 10,000 times through YouTube.com, the popular video-sharing Web site.
Introduced in March at Touchstone Energy's 2007 Annual Meeting, Welcome Home delivers a message of gratitude to the men and women of America's military, and their families, from the members of their Touchstone Energy cooperatives.
The story line in the video and 60-second spot comes to life through the recent homecoming of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force from its one year tour of duty in Iraq. The spot captures the emotional reunions of the soldiers and their families at Camp Pendleton, California. No actors or actresses are employed in the video, which was shot in "real time" as the homecoming event occurred.
