London, Nov 4 (ANI): American model Marisa Miller has posed straddling a Harley-Davidson to pay homage to active and retired US military personnel.

The blonde bombshell, who did the advert for the motorbike giant’s first-ever Military Appreciation Month, said she was delighted to support “those who keep us riding free.”

“I’m honoured to help the Motor Company salute the brave men and women who keep our country free,” the Sun quoted Miller, as saying.

She added: “My grandfather is a veteran and I’ve had the unique opportunity to meet several service men and women during recent USO tours, so the military holds a special place in my heart.

“I hope other Americans will join me and Harley-Davidson in saluting these real life heroes during the month of November.”

Harley-Davidson has also announced a competition for the armed forces personnel, which will give them a chance to win a bike personally delivered by Miller.

“It’s humbling to think of the countless sacrifices these brave men and women – and their families – have made to keep our country free, so the Harley-Davidson family is honoured to partner with Marisa to help salute military personnel this month,” Dino Bernacchi, Harley-Davidson’s director of Advertising and Promotions said.
