Being a Marine Dad I could not have been more thrilled to hear this great news from Jim Beam. Jim Beam is kicking off The Grand Salute, a digital program that allows fans aged 21 and older to give a virtual salute to America’s servicemen and women. Fans can learn the proper way to perform a military salute, submit a photo to www.JimBeamSalutes.com and share their patriotism among friends and family on Facebook and Twitter. Following The Grand Salute, Jim Beam will donate $25,000 to Operation Homefront’s Holiday Meals for Military Program to ensure that every military family will enjoy a holiday meal.
Here is hoping every military family at home and abroad has a happy and healthy holiday season. May the food be plentiful and the Jim Beam flow. Here are a couple of great Jim Beam inspired cocktail recipes to get the holiday festivities started.
