I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! I had a great time in Vegas on Saturday. I met fans at the Las Vegas Harley-Davidson dealership and then went to the UFC fight.
.
I want thank everyone who came down and waited in line at the Harley dealership. I always really enjoy meeting fans and appreciate you taking time out of your schedules to come and meet me. I was really surprised how many people were there and from as far as Utah! I was only scheduled to be there an hour, but I was happy to stay later so I could get to everyone.
.
Harley did a bike give away for service members around the military USO campaign I did last November and I was really happy I got to meet the winner in Vegas. He served in Afghanistan and just returned home in the last couple months. I got to meet his beautiful wife and 7-month-old baby boy as well. I continue to be blown away by the sacrifices men and women in the military make, as well as their families, so we can continue to enjoy our every day freedoms.

In the picture below is Steve, the winner, and his friend and fellow solider, Keith.

I also want to say to anyone who hasn’t watched the Band of Brothers series, you’ve got see it! I know probably every guy has, but women out there should watch this as well! In the past, I did not like watching movies or tv with violence in them and war stories seemed even more difficult. Even though at times it’s hard to watch, this series is incredible and has amazing insight into a huge part of our history. It’s based on a book by Stephen Ambrose and Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks are executive producers. I encourage anyone who hasn’t seen it, to watch it. It really opened my eyes and now I have a greater appreciation and respect for what our military did. It really shows the personal aspect of each individual and makes it more real to try and identify with.

Much love,

Great to hear you had a great time in Las Vegas. I am glad you got to meet some of your fans
Congrats to Steve the winner!!!
I will check-out “Band of Brothers” soon. So many people have recommended it so it must be good.
Thanks for all the updates, Marisa. Hope all is well. Cheers!!! <3
Band of Brothers is the best show I have ever watched (and owned, heh). The book is based off of surviving soldier’s memoirs and such, giving it a decent amount of accuracy. It doesn’t glamorize war, but it shows the bonds of fellowship each soldier had to each other, what courage it took to do their job, and the sheer terror each would feel. They’ve captured a snapshot of experience in those women and men’s lives that we will hopefully never know again, especially Bastogne.
Didn’t know you’d be a fan, but cool to see you are. Glad you had a fun 4th!
seriously sexy harley add in maxim. makes me want one. marisa, heres a slightly selfish request, please make a tv show where you teach people to drive harleys (so you think you can ride). you’d have your first contestant set up (me) and there would be TONS to follow im sure.
also, you are great inspiration in the sunless tan industry. i am ghostly white, but nevertheless, a fan of a golden bod. i’ve been considering a tanning bed, until recently reading cosmo, and an article they had on faux tan, listing you as someone who practices safe-sun. i think its great that a georgous model like yourself can take the time to talk about important issues, and things that effect everyday lives. that is something that makes you stand out, and takes you from just ‘georgous model’ to ‘georgous role model.’
im a HUGE fan. would love to meet you sometime… if you end up doing a harley show ill be psyched
Hello Marissa,
We are the couple from Utah.Thank you for the time you spent with us, it was great meeting you. We have met other celebrities in the past, you are by far the most genuine.
Thanks, hope to meet again.(maybe in Utah)
Travis & Heidi
