They are good reminders for me to chill out sometimes and make me proud of this state that I was born in, grew up in, and have now returned to after 14 years away. I haven&#8217;t seen any of the TV ads, but this one was posted by Pure Michigan on facebook today:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9nzM2vKZIhE\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"349\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I found this radio ad from a couple years ago among the others on youtube:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6mYbQV9gLWI\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"425\" height=\"349\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Can you recognize the voice?
