Just in time for Military Appreciation Month, Jim Beam® is honoring America's heroes with limited-edition bottles of its No. 1-selling Bourbon.

We created the special labels to raise awareness and show our support for Operation Homefront®, which provides financial aid and other programs to help boost morale among military families. Jim Beam will distribute 50,000 cases of the commemorative bottles in 2009.

The specialty bottles will hit the shelves on May 25th, Memorial Day, and they'll be available through the Fourth of July. Each bottle will be wrapped with a custom label bearing the stars-and-stripes logo of Operation Homefront.

Don't forget to pick up your own! While you're at it, give a toast to yourself for showing your support of a worthy cause.

Last year, Jim Beam donated upwards of $250,000 to Operation Homefront through corporate donations and local market events, as well as support from its distributors and retailers. Jim Beam hopes to build on that momentum in 2009 and raise even more money to support Operation Homefront's mission.
