Reedus, who currently stars on both AMC’s The Walking Dead and a new motorcycle show debuting next month, Ride with Norman Reedus, is a longtime supporter of the military and motorcycles. He arrived on a custom motorcycle to the Sailor Jerry “Block Party” at Pier 84, adjacent to the U.S.S. INTREPID, a WWII-era aircraft carrier which today serves as New York’s Sea, Air & Space Museum. Reedus led the assembled crowd of Marines, Sailors, and members of the Coast Guard, their families and friends and fans, in a Toast to the Troops with Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, thanking military attendees for their service. Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum commissioned the custom motorcycle specifically to be donated to a member of the military, and following Reedus’ ride, it will be gifted to the chosen recipient through The Aleethia Foundation.
“I’m a huge supporter of our military and thankful for their efforts,” shared Reedus. “I was excited to lend a hand to the cause and look forward to the event. We’re throwing a free concert for everyone, and I’ll arrive on this incredible bike that Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum custom built and which it will give to a member of the military later through Aleethia. It’s going to be an awesome day, and I hope the men and women of the service have a great time. They deserve our appreciation and our gratitude.”
