"One Day We Will Rise"



The I am a Celtic video is pretty well done. Kind of how Band of Brothers uses interviews with World War II vets to bring home the meaning of that great conflict, the I am a Celtic video uses one-on-one interviews with the Celtics legends as it's vehicle to deliver a meaning around the great Celtic tradition.

The best part is when Hondo, Cousy, and Sam Jones each pause and look proudly into the camera and announce "I am a Celtic." A lot of time has passed since their playing days, but being a member of the Celtics family is still a part of their fiber, their essence.

Fans really aren't Celtics in the same sense as players. But we certainly consider ourselves members of the Celtics family.

While our family members, fans and players alike, have struggled for more than two decades, I think fans shared something else with the former Celtics greats:

An abiding faith that one day our franchise would rise again.
