Local man in Super Bowl ad

Super Bowl Sunday – Feb. 2 – keep your eyes open for possible footage on television of the Welcome Home event that was produced in Winter Park! Army Lt. Charles “Chuck” Nadd of Winter Park came home to surprise that involved the Budweiser company and the famous Clydesdale horses. He was a 2007 graduate of Trinity Prep and a 2011 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. He has been a Blackhawk helicopter pilot in Afghanistan. After a write-in contest and efforts that involved the National VFW and DOD (Veterans of Foreign Wars and Department of Defense), Lt. Nadd was chosen to represent all levels and all branches of the military services. Budweiser has a history of making some memorable and heart-warming commercials that involve our armed forces.
