Aleethia greatly appreciated the opportunity to be part of honoring our nation’s military through the Veteran’s Day Sweepstakes with Logan’s Roadhouse and the Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins Initiative.
GRAND PRIZE WINNER OF THE
VETERAN’S DAY BIKE GIVEAWAY IS …
Michael served in the US Army. In 2002, he was injured on a parachute jump and has had 14 surgeries to repair the damage. He volunteers with recovery organizations and helps mentor other wounded vets who, like Michael, suffer from PTSD. He has had 3 recent surgeries but continues to actively volunteer at his church. Michael is an aquatics Director for the Boy Scouts of America, where he trains lifeguards for the BSA and has rescued scouts and scout leaders from drowning.
“He would rather serve his fellow man and country than himself,” Michael’s wife, Emily, wrote in his Veterans Day Bike Giveaway nomination. “He has sacrificed everything for our family and for this country. His motto ‘my mission, my men, myself’ still serves him today as it did while he was on active duty.”
When Michael and Emily’s twins were born at 30 weeks, they spent nearly 2 months in the NICU. Michael sold his motorcycle and truck, and used his whole life savings to pay the bills. When the twins came home, Michael worked as an EMT and was enrolled in college taking 25 credit hours weekly.
Emily added: “He continues to support our family without any complaints and, even with his PTSD, continues to be positive and upbeat no matter what comes his way. To get him this bike will mean the world to him, as he has been trying to save enough money to buy a motorcycle. Thank you, he loves Counting Cars!”
CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL!!!

About Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum
Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum was created to honor Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins, a Navy vet who built his rep inking soldiers and sailors in WWII-era Honolulu where he established his legendary tattoo parlor and himself as the undisputed father of American old school tattooing. Crafted in the traditional Navy way by William Grant & Sons, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum is bold and smooth, with hints of caramel and vanilla. Just like the man who inspired it, this 92 proof rum speaks for itself and holds itself to the traditional values and standards of craftsmanship that Norman Collins espoused. Made in America from Caribbean Rum and blended with spices including ginger, cinnamon, clove and vanilla, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum is an exceptionally smooth drink with an ABV of 46%. From the liquid itself to the packaging, every detail of Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum stays true to the vision of Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins.
