Bringing Our Troops Home for the Holidays
    Jack Daniel’s is honored to partner with the Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA) of the USA on our Operation Ride Home campaign as we work to reunite our service members and their families during the holiday season. Visit www.jdoperationridehome.com for information.
    We were very proud to kick off this year’s campaign with a $100,000 donation, and we hope our friends will do what they can to help us in the effort.
    The trained staff of the ASYMCA will work closely with military commands and committed volunteers in every branch of service to identify those service members and families in most need of financial assistance and to assist them with travel. Through travel vouchers for plane tickets and pre-paid debit cards for gas, lodging and food, we hope to surpass the overwhelming success of last year’s.

Gunny Pop Launches Line of Cigars; Proceeds Supporting Semper Fi Fund
    Author and speaker Nick “Gunny Pop” Popaditch — the “Cigar Marine” — has launched a line of cigars with a portion of the proceeds going to support the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund to honor his fellow military men and women.
    In recognition of the Marine Corps Birthday, Nick unveiled his new cigar line. The first two premium hand-rolled cigars to be released under the “Cigar Marine” line are “The Gunny” (a double-wrapped Torpedo) and “The Tanker” (a mild spiced Rum).
    “I am excited to stand behind a product that allows cigar smokers to celebrate in true Marine Corps style, and even more so to support a great organization that helps so many injured Marines and their families,” said Nick “Gunny Pop” Popaditch. The cigars are available at www.artofcigars.com.
    Nick’s goal is to raise one million dollars for the Semper Fi Fund. The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit set up to provide immediate financial support for injured and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.
