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.

Supermodel Christie Brinkley and her daughter Sailor Lee, 11, attended the launch of Tea Party Angels held in New York this afternoon (Novmber 7).
Tea Party Angels is a national fundraising program designed for mothers and daughters to host tea parties in order to raise money for girls in need around the world, and to teach social responsibility among young women.
From their website: “Tea Party Angels, a national fundraising initiative, is one woman’s story on how to change the world one tea party at a time. Cheryl Beck, Founder and Chief Executive Angel, first got the inspiration for Tea Party Angels after reading the bestselling books Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and Leaving Microsoft to Change the World by John Wood. Both men she found doing extraordinary things to help educate girls around the world. Passionate about their mission that only through education can we achieve peace and prosperity, she too wanted to do something to make a difference.”
Christie, who has been married four times, is also mom to Alexa Ray, 23, and Jack Paris, 14.

Kate Moss is making sure that her daughter takes up modelling – she’s teaching her how to walk on the ramp.
The British supermodel threw a model-themed birthday party for friend Sadie Frost’s nine-year-old daughter Iris – her child with actor Jude Law.
And there, the catwalk queen taught the birthday girl and her own daughter Lila Grace, seven, her catwalk skills for a special show.
“Kate had been teaching Iris and Lila Grace how to model and how to walk the catwalk properly in preparation for the party. They could hardly have a better teacher,” Contactmusic quoted a source as telling Britain’s MailOnline website.
“All of the girls at the bash wanted to be Kate. She brought along lots of clothes for them and the girls had their hair and make-up done especially. She was teaching them how to master her famous hip swagger and her “I don”t care look,’” added the source.
And apparently the youngsters enjoyed so much that Iris and Lila Grace now both want to be models like Kate.
