on this veteran's day: 'the apl song' music video



In honor of Veteran's Day, thought I'd revisit this great music video for "The Apl Song" by the Black Eyed Peas, directed by Patricio Ginelsa.

Released back in 2004, the Filipino American-centric video is about family, but is also dedicated to the plight of the Filipino war veteran. Not really an issue you'd normally associate with the mainstream superpop sound of the Black Eyed Peas, but there you go.
